DOGE and The Deep State Purge
February 3, 2025
"What's best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women." Conan the Barbarian

I've updated this piece DAILY showing just how corrupt, and even treasonous, USAID has been, and the updates are getting so large I've tried to organize them into categories. At least as best as I can since so much of what they were doing overlapped. One thing is becoming clear to me as the information accumulates; in order to make sure it's all properly exposed I will have to do an individual piece on each category.
Have no doubt someone is going to prison, and the investigations will lead to - "let's make a deal" - by the flunkys and lackeys of these organizations who did the dirty work in order to avoid the full weight of the justice system upon them, Those deals will lead to the upper echelon of the Democrat party, these bureaucracies, and possibly some RINO's.
"Here are the highest paid employees of USAID. As Dems are wont to say, You have to pay market rates to get the experts with the knowledge to run a govt. racket: USAID Highest Paid Employees"
Trump the Barbarian, is the Deep State’s worst nightmare, and it's happening at such a fast pace, and over the entire federal bureaucracy, the Democrats can't act fast enough because the evidence coming out about how they've corrupted the bureaucracy is so vast they're incapable of mounting a credible response.
"For years, the strategy was simple—control the narrative, slow-walk investigations, drag out court cases, and create distractions. But the speed of Trump’s counteroffensive has shattered that plan. Every day brings another massive revelation, another purge, another humiliation for the so-called ruling class."........."Meanwhile, Democrat operative Jen Psaki has gone full Chicken Little, warning Americans that the “sky is falling.” And they’re right; just not for America. The sky is falling for the Deep State. And it’s happening right now."
Yeah, the sky is falling all right, and some of them are going to jail.
How do they respond to China having spies in the White House, the massive corruption at USAID, even funding terrorists, and it turns out less than ten percent went to those who were deserving. They tried to resist efforts by DOGE to investigate their actions, but I keep seeing this idea they're in charge, not the President of the United States. They're learning they're not in charge. USAID Security Chiefs Put on Leave After Refusing Musk.
Panic in the Deep State as DOGE Pulls Back the Curtain on USAID - Musk's wrecking ball "We're shutting it down," Musk said. Trump, talking to reporters last night, suggested a final decision hasn't been made. He said USAID is "run by radical lunatics"...."beyond repair"....... "a bowl of worms" with no apple."'
Initially
the Treasury department refused access to "classified information"
about their payment system, but they keep forgetting, the President of
the United States is the ultimate classifying authority, and if he says
someone is cleared, that's it, they're cleared! And now we know why
they resisted, to cover up what can't be defined as anything but
criminal activity. At the Treasury department is was discovered that
payment approval officers at the U.S. Treasury were simply
rubber-stamping all payment requests that were submitted to them. Musk Reveals Treasury Has Been Auto-Paying Everyone, ‘Even Known Terrorist Groups’, “They literally never denied a payment in their entire career.” Someone's going to jail over this.
Eighty eight FBI agents were escorted out of the FBI offices, and that's just the beginning. Fifty one traitors have their security clearances revoked, and there will be prosecutions there, not to mention resignations by the number, and it's expected this is going to generate some serious deals for lower echelon people to start talking, and that will go to the top of the Democrat pyramid.
The bureaucrats are unhappy, and claim they shouldn't have to go back to work. Outrageous, being in an office 40 hours a week. The head of the American Federation of Government Employees Union, Everett Kelly, explains:
“Purging the federal government of dedicated career federal employees will have vast, unintended consequences that will cause chaos for the Americans who depend on a functioning federal government,” Kelley said in a statement. “Between the flurry of anti-worker executive orders and policies, it is clear that the Trump administration’s goal is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment where workers cannot stay even if they want to.”
Something they just don't seem to get is Trump isn't taking over the Executive Branch, he "is" the Executive branch, the constitution says: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
And we're hearing the lamentations of their women, and self styled "real conservatives", like Bill Kristol, who are leaches on the system, and he's not alone by any stretch of the imagination.
Bill Kristol, who has been receiving funding from USAID, claims Deep State Corruption....and ultimate bankruptcy.... is preferable to Trump state. Does anyone think that sounds sane? That's as stupid as Axelrod saying USAID cuts is more radical that any spending. More radical to whom? Those who are corruptly befitting from that spending? Certainly not for the American people. I can't wait for the criminal investigations to begin.
Now this from a man who I think is one of the weirdest human beings on the planet, Stephen King, saying Elon Musk is killing America, and has "quit Twitter because the “atmosphere has just become too toxic”'. Toxic? From Stephen King? Really? Now that is remarkable.
Then there's Senator Warner who claims Trump’s actions will create chaos on steroids, offering no credible argument to support such a claim, but what is credible is targeting of NGO and nonprofit slush funds could recover billions. That's not chaos for the American people, it's chaos for those who've been leeching off the America taxpayer with the support of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, many of which need to be investigated and prosecuted. There's nothing like a good civil and/or criminal penalty to get people's heads on straight.
Why was the federal government funding grants to South Africa? Trump Cuts Off Funding to South Africa over Racial Land Confiscation. They're a murderous, brutal, corrupt far left racist government. Isn't that was the America left is supposed to be opposed to? The claim there are valid reasons to support this insane government but they are totally offset by their corruption, they politically motivated murders of white farmers, their unending support of Muslim terrorism against Israel, and have a cozy relationship with China and Russia. None of which does anything for America. If their population has a AIDS problem I think that's unfortunate, but how did that become our responsibility?
Remember when all this was snottily, smugly, and snarkily called "conspiracy theories"? Well, Senator John Kennedy recently noted:
"We need more conspiracy theories since all the old ones have turned out to be true - Conspiracy theorists are up like 37 to nothing."
Politicians may be driving this, and have been for years, but a new day is dawning, and it's the bureaucrats who have going to pay the penalty. I remember when 25 years ago or so the major league umpires went on strike, and the union told them to resign as a tactic to get MLB to agree to new terms.
Well,....that didn't work, and when the contract was finally signed, and those who followed their union reps advice, were out of jobs. As it turned out there were a lot of people who could do just as badly as they did, and cheaper.The same will be true after the dust settles and tens of thousands of bureaucrats are out looking for jobs and who in their right mind would hire them? What are their qualifications? They can sign their names on welfare checks.... maybe.... as long as it's not in cursive.
If there was any doubt there was going to be criminal action taken agaisnt these people, disabuse yourself of that, since now we know both USAID and the CIA were behind the impeachment of trump in 2019 all of which is absolute violation of federal law and considered treason. (More here)
Overview and the Constitution
Shutting Down USAID Is Only The First Step To Cutting Government Pork - Corrupt legacy media should be next. ..........Hundreds of protestors are rallying in Washington D.C. to protest Trump’s efforts to dismantle the federal agency where billions of taxpayer dollars are siphoned off to foreign countries every single year under the guise of “saving lives” and “peace and justice.” In an effort to stay relevant, Democrat lawmakers are marching against what they see as a dictatorship of billionaires stripping Americans of their rights…by shutting down a government agency that does anything but help American citizens in their times of need................
MAGA Is Now America’s Political Mainstream- Trump and the GOP promised the voters that, if elected, they would enact policies to secure the nation’s borders, reduce inflation, control government spending, ensure affordable and abundant energy, make the “American Dream” accessible to everyone, safeguard fair and honest elections, defend parental rights, and protect free speech............
USAID Officials Lock DOGE Out of the Building — Trump Delivers the ‘Find Out’ Response - We’ve been reporting that Donald Trump is no fan of USAID, the US Agency for International Development, and he's determined to reform or eliminate the agency. Bureaucrats within the independent agency have not been taking it well and have been throwing temper tantrums and trying to “resist,” thinking somehow that the electorate voted them into office and not the president.....
It's clear they just don't grasp they're just hired help, (which seems ubiquitous in the federal bureaucracy) and the President of the United States is in charge. The operative words here?
You're fired!
Trump’s attack on the Deep State is spectacular and almost certainly legal- In the last few days, Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) has effectively put an end to USAID, gelded the General Services Administration (GSA) tech division, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the Treasury, and fired corrupt people in the FBI—and that’s just the short list. With the war on USAID, GSA, OPM, and the Treasury alone, DOGE is saving taxpayers at a rate of one billion per day. All of this has driven the Democrats into a frenzy as they insist that an elected president managing the government is a coup. Unfortunately for them (but not for us), they don’t have a legal leg to stand on.......
DOGE Has Their Next Target, and Libs Are Bound to Freak Out - The Department of Government Efficiency has been on a tear in DC. They’re acting like they have a mandate from the 2024 election, and they do. They’re uprooting, exposing, and shining light on the numerous pipelines of government waste and left-wing extremism that’s infected DC. They’re also clearing up many administrative issues, like worthless leases on barely used government offices. ...........
The Department of Education has been a massively expensive failure spending hundreds of billion of dollars during it's existence and what do we have? Children who can't read at the university level, can't spell, write cursive, or do basic arithmetic. If that's true, and it is, how did they graduate from high school?
Trump’s decision to end USAID is constitutionally and legally solid - A cynic might assume that Trump dismantling the USAID would be just another blunder quickly overturned by the courts. But beneath Trump 47’s seemingly brash and impetuous exterior lies a master political strategist and negotiator—one almost unrecognizable from Trump 45. Trump has set his sights on USAID because he knows it has no legal foundation to stand on. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA) merely granted the President broad discretion to structure foreign aid programs as he saw fit. President John F. Kennedy exercised this discretion through Executive Order 10973, formally establishing USAID as an administrative agency under the State Department.
Corruption Far Beyond Anything We Thought Possible
Chris Coons Gets Wrecked After He Tries to Desperately Defend USAID Spending Democrats have been losing their minds over DOGE looking into the finances of the various executive branch agencies. They've resorted to arguing that the president, the head of the executive branch, can't review or designate people to review said agencies, arguing that's somehow "illegal." It's a bizarre argument..........
Follow the money: USAID’s $53 million problem - John Jay once declared, “Those who own the country ought to govern it.” The citizens of the Republic are its rightful stewards. Yet unelected bureaucrats, operating in the shadows, funneled taxpayer money into high-risk gain-of-function research—and when exposed, they scrambled to cover their tracks. Only now are we beginning to grasp the full extent of the federal government’s entanglement in dangerous research conducted within the borders of our greatest adversary. For years, government agencies—along with likely universities and private corporations—have secretly financed these risky experiments—most notably at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—without public knowledge or accountability. Recent investigations reveal as much as $53 million and counting in U.S. taxpayer dollars funneled to Wuhan through USAID, the NIH, and the EcoHealth Alliance........
Joni Ernst Says USAID ‘Abused the System,’ Agency Threatened Her for Seeking Transparency - Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst appeared Monday on Newsmax to say
that members of the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) have obstructed and even threatened her efforts to oversee how
it distributes money. During an appearance on
“The Record with Greta Van Susteren,” Ernst talked about her past
problems with USAID and complained about a lack of transparency in how
its funds are distributed. Funds, she said, often do not go toward their
initially intended purposes. This alleged redirection of funds prompted
Ernst to question USAID about its operational practices, a move she
said was met with resistance and even threats.
USAID Might Be the One Thing Democrats Love More Than Abortion - There’s a better than average chance you’ve never heard of USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, before because you’re a normal person with a life who doesn’t have time to monitor the thousands of agencies the federal government creates to squander tax dollars while subsidizing progressive policies around the world. Once you realize that you begin to see why the Democrats are so upset at the idea of auditing its books and shining a little sunlight on the whole mess..........Elon Musk .........when it comes to waste and inefficiency, and that’s about 85-90 percent of what government is. He’s the man you want on this job…unless you benefit from waste, fraud and abuse. That’s why Democrats are really so upset. ..............
Ted Cruz Slams USAID After Soros Ties Revealed: "The Open Society Foundation's connections with USAID run so deep, an Open Society nonprofit actually sued USAID not once but twice and both cases reached the Supreme Court. Alliance for Open Society International sued to oppose a USAID funding requirement that nonprofits receiving tax dollars pledge to oppose prostitution." Because nothing says "From the American People" better than promotion of prostitution in your country. .........
USAID funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Soros-linked nonprofits. -The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funneled, for many years, hundreds of millions of dollars to nonprofits linked to progressive tycoon George Soros. According to a report by Just The News, the East-West Management Institute, backed in part by Soros' Open Society Foundation, received more than $260 million from USAID over the years with the goal of advancing Serbia's European Union accession negotiations, promoting the rule of law in Georgia, strengthening civil society in Uganda, among other issues........
Turns Out the ‘Deep State’ Used USAID to Oust Bolsonaro From Brazil - Right now, there’s a nationwide debate raging over a group you may have never even heard of—USAID. So, what exactly is USAID? Well, if you look on Wikipedia, you’ll see this fairytale definition:...............But as you’ve probably guessed by now, there’s a lot more to this story. First off. plenty of politicians love USAID—especially crooked snakes like Ilhan Omar, whose third-world hellhole of a homeland raked in $2.3 billion of our tax dollars.........In addition, USAID is operating with basically zero accountability and a mind-blowing $50 billion budget—which is absolutely insane, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently pointed out............ And speaking of CIA games—wait until you hear what your hard-earned tax dollars were wasted on through USAID… killing populism and turning Brazil back into a Marxist, progressive hellhole, courtesy of the US government...........
USAID’s Indefensible Ties to the Woke Nonprofits That Called the Shots in the Biden Regime - The U.S. Agency for International Development wasn’t just spending your hard-earned tax dollars on transgender operas overseas—USAID also has troubling connections with the leftist pressure groups that infiltrated and advised the Biden administration. My book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government,” exposes the woke activist groups that fed staff into the administrative state and pushed woke policies on the bureaucracy......
USAID’s Samantha Power: From journalist to global power broker—without accountability - Power was never an outsider—she was an entrenched member of the Obama-Biden foreign policy machine. Samantha Power’s tenure as head of USAID was just the latest chapter in a meteoric rise that defies traditional foreign policy credentials. A former journalist with no formal diplomatic or military background, she ascended rapidly—first as a senior adviser to Barack Obama, then as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and ultimately as the head of an agency handling billions in taxpayer dollars. Power encountered remarkably little resistance, unlike others with deep military and policy experience who faced relentless scrutiny upon appointment by a president of another political party. Compare Power’s rise with Trump-era appointees like Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, who saw their backgrounds dissected and their integrity questioned.......
Shock Revelation: USAID Funding Went to China for Gain-of-Function Research on Coronaviruses – Noted Expert Weighs In - State Department Spokesman Matt Miller found himself in hot water during a press briefing in September 2023
when confronted by reporter Sam Husseini about the funding provided by
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to China
for gain-of-function research on coronaviruses..........“How much money went from USAID to this to the work at Wuhan and to
their collaborator Ralph Barrick at the University of North Carolina to
create, to collect and make coronaviruses that are weaponized, that are
more deadly,” asked Husseini.
Turns Out the ‘Deep State’ Used USAID to Oust Bolsonaro From Brazil - But as you’ve probably guessed by now, there’s a lot more to this story. First off. plenty of politicians love USAID—especially crooked snakes like Ilhan Omar, whose third-world hellhole of a homeland raked in $2.3 billion of our tax dollars. In addition, USAID is operating with basically zero accountability and a mind-blowing $50 billion budget—which is absolutely insane, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently pointed out...... The reason Democrat politicians are in front of USAID throwing a fit, is not because they care about giving aid to foreign countries. It’s because they are beneficiaries of the money laundering and racketeering schemes. Their panic confirms everything.......But as Senator John Kennedy likes to say— “Get over it.” There’s plenty more pain on the way….......Mike Benz on how USAID spent tens of millions of dollars of US taxpayer funds to remove Jair Bolsonaro from power and end free speech in Brazil:..............
Hungary’s Orban Follows Trump’s Lead: Will Shutter USAID-Backed Orgs - Hungary will take legal action to shutter local non-governmental organizations and media outlets that take funding from United States agencies and other international sources, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday. He added the time had come to “eliminate these foreign networks.”....
Conservative Hungarian PM Orbán Vows To Uncover and Punish Globalist NGOs and Parties Receiving USAID Funding To Subvert His Government - Conservative champion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is the European leader that the Globalists ‘love to hate’.Instead of a Globalist, he is a nationalist; instead of liberal, populist. He is against unchecked mass migration, against ‘climate change’ lunacy and once warned the EU, the "contemporary parody of the Soviet Union" that ‘there Is Not Enough Money in the World To Force [Hungary] To Put Our Children in the Hands of LGBTQ Activists’.
Back in October, he blew the whistle on the continental effort to subvert his conservative government in the same way that Poland’s right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) administration has been supplanted by Liberal, Globalist and Euro-fanatic Donald Tusk...........but it is now known that the subversion in Hungary is not – or was not, under Joe Biden – solely a European project. The dirty North American fingers of the infamous USAID were all over it......
Bureaucracies and the Pravda Media, Agents of Destruction
From Canceled Media Contracts to Lawsuits to Expected Layoffs, the USAID News Continues- As Townhall has been covering throughout this week, Democrats have had a truly terrible time freaking out about the Trump administration's pause on U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for review. The situation came to a head in more ways than one on Thursday. According to The New York Times, the Trump administration plans to retain only 290 of the 10,000 of USAID employees, citing "three people with knowledge of the planned cuts to the work force," with the cuts having been announced during a Thursday call. The outlet mentioned the information in a live update that night and also put out a separate piece. As that article mentioned:.........
Resistance to the Trump Agenda is Rooted in Corruption
It
wasn't that long ago we saw leftists railing against these purges
saying no would could be
fired for their political views? Oh wait.... my bad.... they can't be
fired for their leftist anti-American, anti-white, antisemitic,
anti-conservative, anti-Christian, or hate Trump views, however, if a
DOGE investigator says something they don't like, well, with the help of
the Pravda media spewing out a lot of hyperbole, that investigator must
go. Remarkable. There are a few things the left is extraordinary at.
Lying, convenient memories, twisting and/or ignoring facts and history,
and consistency, which is the only thing at which they're consistent.
No lie is too vile for them to embrace.
Another one: Former USAID contractor turned WSJ reporter takes another doxx-like swing at DOGE engineer - The deep state looks out for its own, and with DOGE in its crosshairs, has struck again through its media allies. So now we see another swing at a young DOGE software engineer ferreting out waste and fraud in the government from a former USAID contractor, forcing him out of a job for some years-ago bad tweets, after what must have been quite a search for something to pin on him.According to The Hill:.....An Elon Musk deputy who accessed sensitive Treasury Department payment systems has resigned after social media posts of his came to light that espoused racist beliefs.....
Yes, very, very stupid to write those very bad ideas, but young software engineering nerds, like Olympic athletes, with no knowledge of anything else, aren't exactly famous for their maturity. And if he's autistic, as some DOGE team members reportedly are, their social skills. The engineer was there for his tech prowess, not his ill-conceived ideas, which he has since had sense enough to delete, and has neither said anything nor written anything like that while on the job with Musk. Leftists, it must be noted, do this all the time -- without consequences...............
Here's JD Vance's Take on That DOGE Staffer Who Resigned
-
Vance began by pointing out that he was not in agreement with the
racist
posts. "I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t
think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life," his post
read. He also stressed that "journalists who try to destroy people"
shouldn't be rewarded, even adding an "Ever." Thus, he wants Elez
brought back. Is there a time and place for firing employees? Sure, with
Vance mentioning it should be if he's "a bad dude or a terrible member
of the team."........ President Donald Trump was asked at a press
conference by Fox News' Peter Doocy about Vance's post........."if the
vice president said that... I'm with the vice president!" It's turns out he's now been rehired.
WSJ Reporter Ripped for Targeting DOGE Staffer After Working at USAID =- Katherine Long, a Wall Street Journal reporter who apparently took down a 25-year-old member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with an article on his offensive past comments, previously worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) — which the Trump administration has slashed considerably, angering elites in Washington, D.C.........“The WSJ Editorial Board gets everything wrong about Trump,” a person close to the Trump transition, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of retribution, told Breitbart News. “Now, the WSJ is employing FEDS who worked for USAID to report on USAID. Conflict much?”....
USAID Shutdown Efforts Are 'Chaotic,' 'Tectonic' - The Trump administration is intent on dismantling the US Agency for International Development, which delivers food, medicine, and other humanitarian aid to the world's poorest. The stop-work order on USAID, which is now under the purview of Marco Rubio's State Department, immediately halted the agency's disbursement of foreign aid for 90 days, and Trump's team is in the process of stripping the workforce down to skeleton staff. "To be clear, there is no such thing as a temporary pause," ex-USAID official Michael Schiffer wrote recently for Just Security. "When an NGO, a small business, or an American company that receives US government funding to implement US foreign assistance is told to stop work, even for 90 days, that means people are fired, expertise is lost, and programs are shut down." More on what the New Yorker calls the "chaotic attempt" to shutter the agency: ........
Attorneys General in 14 States Threaten to Sue DOGE, Citing Privacy Concerns - Attorneys general in over a dozen states are threatening to sue the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk, citing privacy concerns. The 14 attorneys general include California Attorney General Rob Bonta, as well as those representing Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Vermont. They begin their joint statement pointing to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, writing that it has “given Elon Musk access to Americans’ personal private information, state bank account data, and other information that is some of our country’s most sensitive data.” ..
What evidence do they have Musk is illegally abusing his
position? None. And it's mind boggling that while USAID leaders and
leaders of all these other agencies abused their positions, massively,
illegally, and even treasonously, it never once bothered them. This is
just more lawfare corruption. What bothers them is the exposure of the
left's corruption, and this case will be shot down,.....assuming this
case appears before a real judge, and not one of the Obama/Biden corrupt
political hacks.
Judge pauses Trump plan to put USAID staff on leave - A federal judge on Friday said he would temporarily pause the Trump administration’s plan to place thousands of workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development on administrative leave...... a Trump appointee, delivered the ruling after hearing arguments from the Trump administration and two groups representing federal workers in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.......... “What is the urgency of this?” the judge asked. “The President has decided there is corruption and fraud at USAID,” Shumate replied......
First of all, this judge has no jurisdiction. This is an executive
branch issue, and it's not his concern what the urgency is, or if there
is any at all, that's for the President of the United States to decide.
He has no Constitution or legislative right to question it, in spite of
all the leftist gobbledygook they spew out claiming the courts decide
what that constitution says. The Constitution says it's the Congress
that decides their jurisdiction. Another example of how the legal
thinking in American universities corrupts just about everyone in the
judiciary, no matter who appoints them.
Soros-Funded Group Sues Over Funding Freeze Claiming It’s Deadly - “endangering lives abroad.”......... USAID is a rabbit hole subsidizing everything from Islamic terrorists to leftist activist groups. Freezing the outlay has sent them scurrying and demanding more money or everyone will die.................When you’re funded by Soros, Ford, the Knight Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers, you’re not ‘apolitical’. These folks don’t fund apolitical organizations. And when Public Citizen rolls together an AIDS vaccine group with a leftist advocacy group and claims people will die unless they get money, AIDS is being used as a shield for political activism. If OOCRP needs money that badly, it can ask George or Alex Soros for a raise.............
Vatican Demands Trump Restore USAID Which Provides 50% of Catholic Relief’s Budget - Millions of people could die… if you don’t give us money...........More relevantly, USAID provides between 50% to 60% of Catholic Relief’s budget. And despite the name, much of CRS’ work does not involve helping Christians, (e.g. Gaza) and other Muslim parts of the world............. Pope Francis’s candidate and party lost an election. That has consequences. And it’s a bit late to protest that CRS is a bipartisan project when its political agenda and policies are diametrically opposed to those of Trump and the American people........
Vatican wades into U.S. politics prescribing USAID policy positions for President Trump - They seem to think U.S. taxpayer money is their money. Interference in another country's internal affairs?......The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions.......as a result of the “ruthless” U.S. decision to “recklessly” stop USAID funding, and hundreds of millions more will be condemned to “dehumanizing poverty.” That's a little close to micromanaging the U.S.'s policy decisions and criticizing its voters' choice of leader, President Trump, who by the way, took the majority of the Catholic vote.......
Give us all your money or people will die!!!! Or they'll claim they need support for some program or other because it's "for the children". That's the lie, and the emotional hook and hoax perpetrated on America by insane leftists using our own values against us, and who have a history of programs that can only be called misanthropic, including not doing one thing to stop the Chinese from murdering people in China to harvest their organs. Most importantly, how did this become the responsibility of American taxpayers? How's this, let Soros and the Pope call Putin and Xi and ask them to replace those funds.
Terrorism
Ilhan Omar
doesn't understand something? Wow! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. She
just can't grasp why Americans aren't thrilled to subsidize terrorists
who openly hate and want to destroy America. Imagine that!
“I Don’t Understand”: Ilhan Omar Baffled by Americans Who Agree With Gutting Foreign Aid Agency - “Well, I don’t understand why they would agree with it philosophically. We are looking at this reckless decision that was made that took away the jobs of so many Americans who are working here in the United States and abroad,” Omar said. “These were people who were locked out of their offices, locked out of their emails. We have crisis response teams that are abroad, that are locked out of the resources that they need in case their lives were in danger. So what Elon Musk is doing is actually risking the lives of Americans by making this decision.”.....
USAID: Your tax dollars at work…for Hezbollah? - The Biden administration’s reckless foreign aid policies have once again come under scrutiny—this time for approving a $50 million USAID grant to three Lebanese universities: the American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanese American University (LAU), and Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU). Given USAID’s longstanding financial support for Lebanese institutions—more than $156 million since 2010—the decision to approve an additional $50 million under Samantha Power’s leadership demands serious scrutiny. .........
Fmr. Afghanistan IG: USAID Is ‘Broken’ -On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “The Bottom Line,” former Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko stated that USAID is “a broken agency” and that for USAID, the Defense Department, and the State Department in Afghanistan, “the whole objective was spend the money. … The test wasn’t what the outcome was, the test was, did you spend your appropriated funds? And if you didn’t, you lost money. If you didn’t, you weren’t promoted.”..........a lot of the waste and fraud and abuse happening because the people who are actually spending the money, it’s really just focused on how much money you get out the door? There was a quote I read, if you don’t ask about results, you don’t fail and your budget doesn’t get cut.”.............
USAID Accused of Funding Boko Haram’s Reign of Terror Against Nigerian Christians -Nigerian politician Adamu Garba alleges that USAID funds have been funneled to Islamic terrorist groups, including Boko Haram, fueling a brutal campaign of violence against Christians in Nigeria. The accusations echo broader concerns about the misuse of U.S. foreign aid and its devastating global consequences.
- Nigerian politician Adamu Garba claims USAID funds have been used to arm Boko Haram, ISIS, and other Islamic terrorist groups in Nigeria.
- Boko Haram, often disguised as Fulani herdsmen, has terrorized Nigerian Christians, displacing hundreds of thousands and killing hundreds in 2018 alone.
- U.S. Congressman Scott Perry alleges that 697 million in USAID funds were misdirected to terrorist organizations, including 136 million intended for school construction in Pakistan.
- Garba questions how $824 million in USAID funding to Nigeria last year seemingly vanished without benefiting announced recipients.
- USAID is now proven to operate as a “dark money” laundering operation, enabling global corruption and violence under the guise of humanitarian aid............
Treason
It
was obvious all these riots perpetrated by BLM and Antifa were planned
and organized, but what wasn't clear by whom. Now we know, DOGE has
exposed it, and someone needs to go to prison over all this, including
those who are "leaders", or those who acted as contacts with USAID over
this. And it's even worse, as these agencies, including the CIA are being completely exposed as agents of treason.
Both USAID and the CIA Were Behind the Impeachment of Trump in 2019 - (ignore the video) - The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump on December 18, 2019, after a White House whistleblower went public with evidence that Trump abused his powers by withholding military aid to Ukraine in order to dig up dirt on his rival, Joe Biden. In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had, on a phone call, directed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a CIA analyst who was first brought into the White House by the Obama administration.........
BOMBSHELL: Michael Shellenberger Exposes Shocking USAID and CIA Connections to Trump’s Impeachment - In a stunning exposé released on his Substack, investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger sheds light on the covert operations by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that have influenced the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump in 2019. According to Shellenberger, a nexus between USAID-funded research and a whistleblower from the CIA sparked the impeachment.
The foundation of the impeachment, as per the House of Representatives on December 18, 2019, was a whistleblower’s accusation stating President Trump misused his presidential powers. The whistleblower, who was a CIA analyst appointed during the Obama era and claimed that President Donald Trump coerced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into probing Joe Biden and his son Hunter by leveraging military aid, is Eric Ciaramella........
Catholic Relief Services Cuts Staff, Migration Efforts, as USAID Scandal Grows - The organization’s chief work recently has focused on shuffling an increasing number of migrants into the U.S.A. but not without controversy. Last year it found itself accused of supplying maps to migrants in South and Central America as well as Mexico to show illegal aliens how to get to the U.S. border......
USAID. Here’s what you need to know (video) - Mike Benz: “USAID is effectively a rent-a-riot operation. That raises questions about the Black Lives Matter protests.” It’s wild how fast things can change. Three weeks ago, most Americans had likely never heard of USAID. Now it’s at the center of our national conversation. Why exactly do conservatives want the agency defunded? Is it really a “ball of worms” like Elon Musk says? “We are conducting open heart surgery on the vital organs of the American empire… It has to be done. I 100% agree with the decisions that have been made on policy so far on this.”
How USAID Drove the Russian Collusion Hoax - USAID is no more. What’s left of the desiccated corpse of this agency has been absorbed into the State Department, with most of its workers laid off and its overseas missions shut down. The veneer of aid work has been obliterated, thanks to the work of President Donald J. Trump and DOGE, which uncovered a litany of wasteful spending. It was a primary driver of favors and pork for the political class. The gravy train derailed, and the vehicle for moving slush funds was deactivated. That’s why the Left freaked out about the end of USAID. .......
Tuition for Terrorists - USAID funded education of Anwar al-Awlaki, mastermind of the 2009 Fort Hood massacre Christmas Day bomb plot. In 2009, al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al Awlaki was communicating with U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, a self-described “soldier of Allah,” about killing Americans. The FBI dropped surveillance on Hasan, who on November 5, 2009, murdered 13 Americans at Fort Hood. Two years later, Awlaki was killed in a drone strike, and it now emerges that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) provided “full funding” for Awlaki’s college education.......... Obama shifted the CIA and FBI focus from Islamic terrorism to his domestic opposition. Brennan’s Undaunted certifies the change by targeting enemies “at home” before those “abroad.” Brennan also signed the letter charging that the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation,” which all 51 signers knew was false..............
How USAID Laundered Money to the Taliban - UN pooled accounts. Pallets of cash. And a covert cash printing operation. Freedom Center Investigates has a new article on how USAID laundered money to the Taliban. I believe it’s an important article, but I also thought it might be a good idea to have a briefer more visual explainer of how the scheme worked. SIGAR, the government’s Afghan war watchdog, already provided a good visual breakdown of some of the scheme. But let’s start here...............
Disgraced ’60 Minutes’ Misleads Viewers on USAID Staff Reductions - Sunday’s episode (February 17, 2025) of the disgraced 60 Minutes from far-left CBS News worked overtime to mislead its gullible viewers about the recent layoffs at USAID, a left-wing slush fund paid for with about $40 billion taxpayer dollars each year. Despite the U.S. Senate’s previous good-faith attempts to discover where all that money went, the USAID bureaucrats stalled and stalled. No one could find out how those billions were being spent, which was the whole point. What we had was an unaccountable federal agency spending billions with no oversight or accountability.........
JUST IN: Once-Trusted GOP Senator Embroiled In Major USAID-Related Scandal -Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), once regarded as a staunch conservative voice in the Republican Party, is now facing major scrutiny over his connections to the International Republican Institute (IRI), a taxpayer-funded nonprofit that has received over $130.7 million in federal grants in 2024 alone.............
Why is Tom Cotton blocking a Trump DOD nominee? There’s a possibility that Cotton’s affiliation with a Republican, UN-affiliated NGO is guiding his approach to Trump’s foreign policy. ..........
The links here regarding all the vile practices and corruption involving USAID, and would be a 15 page Word document, and every week it grows, but here's the part that should really upset everyone.....that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Here's my entire USAID File for your perusal. As the truth comes out, let the cards fall where they may. There's the whole story, which is becoming as clear as crystal glass. Every vile thing being exposed here has it's roots in treason. Possibly not the legal Constitutional definition of treason, but treason nonetheless in spirit, and at a practical level on a massive scale, and the left is outraged it's being exposed, ergo, they embrace treason.
“There are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen,” Vladimir Lenin

Well, Donald Trump is President of the United States and the Deep State is in trouble, and the Democrat party is now facing a far more formidable foe than they've ever faced in their history since Abraham Lincoln. He's determined to crush the Deep State and after crushing USAID, he's going after the Department of Education, and with Pam Bondi confirmed as Attorney General, Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, along with Kash Patel sure to be confirmed as Director of the FBI, and Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence life in Washington DC is going to become frightening for the Deep State. Entertaining for the rest of us though as this will be a schadenfreude moment in time.
“In order to get Trump they had to get Flynn, and we now have all this incredible levels of evidence that has been exposed principally through my case. So my case fighting back, doing the things we do despite all the crazy people out there that, you know, that name-call you, and other media outlets that still do that to this day. Everybody knows the truth. And what I know is, I know a little bit more of the truth, and what I’m going to do with this film, flynnmovie.com, is I’m going to expose some of that truth,”.......
What we've found out now is the Deep State is deeper than we thought, and is filed with enemies of the American Constitution.
The uniparty and the Deep State conspired to destroy Trump, and has been doing so for over eight years, and he's survived. The "Get Trump" playbook involved the media, RINO'S, Hollywood, CIA, FBI, DOJ, National Security Council, the Mueller "Inquisition", the corruption of the rule of law and corrupt prosecutions by corrupt prosecutors and judges. Not to mention the corrupt media and their charges of racism, fascism, and misogyny, so now we're seeing successes from Trump as no one has ever seen before.
This time he's not walking in without a support team that's totally on his side, and will do everything they can do destroy the corruption that permeates the federal government, and at all levels. He's shining a massive spotlight on that corruption and America is outraged. It wasn't "conspiracy theories" after all, it was reality!
The history of the democratic doctrine furnishes a striking example of an intellectual system blown about by the social wind. Conceived as the foundation of liberty, it paves the way for tyranny. Born for the purpose of standing as a bulwark against Power, it ends by providing Power with the finest soil it has ever had in which to spread itself over the social field. - Bertrand de Jouvenel
The Wokey World of Politics, Enemy, and Power - Isn’t it special how Harvard has been negotiating with the peaceful protestors camping in Harvard Yard and has agreed to look into a Center for Palestine Studies at Harvard? Let us imagine, for a moment, anti-abortion activists standing silently outside one of the leading abortion clinics protesting about the lack of babies born to Ivy League women university presidents? I wonder how many pregnancy termination reductions the folks at Planned Parenthood would negotiate............If the United States can indict the former President of the United States for a ham sandwich… Well, you get the picture. Can you spell I-N-J-U-S-T-I-C-E?
Progressives’ Cunning Blueprint to Possess the Levers of State Power - Illinois public-sector unions are perfecting and promulgating a model for subjugating Americans to union interests. Their model has three steps: control the kids, control politicians and control the law. It’s highly effective, and toxic to the future of any state that embraces it. Kids are at the heart of Illinois unions’ domination strategy. After all, in Animal Farm, Napoleon the pig (representing Josef Stalin) says, “education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up.”...........
Liberals Back Proposed Rule to Fortify Career Bureaucrats Against a Change in the White House - Liberal advocacy organizations are throwing support behind a proposed federal rule that would make firing bureaucrats more difficult amid polling suggesting that former President Donald Trump may win November’s presidential election. The proposed Office of Personnel Management (OPM) rule would make it more difficult for civil servants to be reclassified as Schedule F employees, who can be fired at will by the president, according to the federal register. Liberal organizations like Democracy Forward and Protect Democracy, which are involved in efforts to obstruct a potential second Trump term, have voiced support for the rule....
Democrats: Trashing the past, ruining the present, stealing our future - It is all working out as planned for the progressives. They divide us, break us up, atomize us, make us hate each other, drive us all crazy. And then the shootings occur. And then they have us scared. And then they can control us, disarm us, and lock us down ”for our own good.” Meaning, their ever-growing, eternal power...... because they know they can use them to their advantage -- in both the short and the long term. That is the true nature of the evil we are facing. And it is an evil that cannot be defeated unless we are willing to make it so, no matter the cost. The cost of not doing so is unimaginable......
Victor Davis Hanson in his Nov 24, 2021 article, Losing Confidence in the Pillars of Our Civilization, states:
Millions of citizens long ago concluded that professional sports, academia, and entertainment were no longer disinterested institutions, but far Left and deliberately hostile to Middle America. Yet American conservatives still adamantly supported the nation's traditional investigatory, intelligence, and military agencies - especially when they came under budgetary or cultural attacks. Not so much anymore. For the first time in memory, conservatives now connect the FBI hierarchy with bureaucratic bloat, political bias, and even illegality........Never has the proper advisory role of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff been so brazenly usurped and contorted..........Few reporters have yet offered apologies for helping hatch and spread the Russian collusion hoax that paralyzed the country for three years.......
Few reporters suggested that federal health agencies such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases might be disseminating contradictory or even inaccurate information about the pandemic. To believe this was happening instead earned condemnation in the media as if one were some conspiracy theorist or nut............District attorneys in several major cities - Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and St. Louis - have often predicated prosecuting crimes on the basis of ideology, race, and careerism.
I think a valid argument can be made that the regulatory code is unconstitutional, all 200,000 pages of it. Since the SCOTUS Loper Bright
decision overturning the Chevron Doctrine finally put to rest the idea a
self directed bureaucracy has no Constitutional basis, making it clear
the Constitution invests the legislative functions of the United States
solely in the hands of Congress, and not unelected tyrannical
bureaucrats.
As for the bureaucracy; that can be dealt with as a budgetary issue. Since Chevron was overturned, it's going to be difficult to justify having all these mini dictators on the payroll, starting with the EPA.
Then simply ignore their schemes and hire and fire as necessary and let them sue. Just like Obama and Biden have done when federal law stands in opposition to their ideological schemes, immigration being the best example of that.
One more thing. Conservatives need to make overturning Sullivan a top priority. Once these lying media trash start getting sued for libel, things will start to go much smoother.
Both self confident people and arrogant people want to be right. The difference is self confident people are willing to accept correction in order to be right. Arrogant people will accept no correction, and all of these leftist halfwits are arrogant. Compile arrogance with ignorance, and you get Woke, and the sooner they get crushed the better.
Musk's DOGE team of clearly brilliant very young people (who have no connections with those corrupting the system) are just getting started and in less than two weeks have exposed such waste and fraud it's mind boggling....... again..... this was in less than two weeks! What will they be able to do over this next two years?
As for those who are benefiting from the all that waste, fraud, corruption, and unnecessary, and often vile government spending they're giving Trump, Musk and his team a lot of kickback. From this point on the position every conservative should take is to assume anyone standing against these efforts are corrupt, treasonous, and to be ignored, at least until charges are brought against them, since all this exposure may put them at risk of criminal prosecution.
I recently saw this comment on a American Thinker article:
Memo to all DEI related employees, personnel, contractors and subcontractors as well as any and other persons, departments and businesses affiliated there to: It has been determined that you have outlived your usefulness to the organization. Effective immediately, unless and until a position becomes available for which you may be qualified, you are herewith terminated. You will receive separation compensation equal to your current pay grade and health benefits for a period not to exceed ninety days.We wish you much luck as you are most assuredly and desperately going to need it.
The only thing about that I didn't like is I didn't say it. The federal bureaucracy is massive and expensive, spending unsustainable amounts of money for which they can't account, and that includes the Pentagon failing it's 7th audit in a row, unable to account for their spending in their $824 billion dollar budget.
They're out of control, and about 80% of them are unnecessary. Trump gets that and has made it clear the treasonous behavior from the bureaucracy during his first administration will be exposed and acted on this time.
The CIA interfered in the 2020 election colluding with the with Biden campaign over the Hunter Biden laptop, and it's believed that would have made a major difference, and they intended to do the same for the 2024 election. (more here) There are a lot of Disturbing Questions about the Intelligence Community, and why is the US Intel Community, Promoting Cross-Dressing? Is it any wonder John Daniel Davidson says the Most Serious National Security Threat Isn’t Russian Nukes In Space, It’s Intelligence Agencies In Washington, with their scare mongering and illegal surveillance of America citizens.

The Department of Justice has done everything it can to overturn the rule of law with corrupt judges even over turning what was always considered sacrosanct in American jurisprudence, attorney client privilege.
This became DOJ's standard operating procedure: corrupt lawfare, intimidation, and coercion, destroying the justice system’s integrity.
That's going come to an end now as the President has a mandate to drain these "cesspools of legal corruption nationwide, and we're already seeing the new Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in action. Beege Welborn says he's gonna have to get a nitro prescription or something saying his heart can't take much more. Why?
He says Bondi was confirmed at 12:00, sworn in by Clearance Thomas at 12:30, and unleashed hell at 12:40. No President has ever done so much in such a short time frame, or ever done it over a very wide range, and he's picked people who are on board with his views and came armed to the teeth to act on his vision. She's going to take a "legal scalpel and cut out the cancer at the DOJ.
Matthew G. Andersson asks do we have two legal systems, two governments, two countries? Yes, we did, and he says these who defiled American justice have no intention of going quietly into the night:
The Democrat party is committed to corrupting that legal system to block and subvert the will of the American people and their chosen government. That has a new form: the DNC has established and financed its “Democracy Forward” program, announced in the New York Times (“Democrats Draw Up an Entirely New Anti-Trump Battle Plan”). Their fantasy appears to be a subversive “second” government. This DNC program has hired eight hundred lawyers, with more to come, creating a “lawfare army” and taking this operation from the White House, to DNC controlled governorships.
They just have no idea who they're dealing with. Trump is past caring, and he will be going all out to crush them, and he's going to win.
During the Civil War the South had better generals and better soldiers at the start of the war. What they didn't have was bodies. The population in the North was much greater than in the South, and while the South humiliated the Union army at the beginning of the war that changed as the Northern troops became experienced, and Lincoln fired incompetent generals. From that point on Lincoln created a "attack everywhere" strategy the South simply couldn't counter because they didn't have the manpower or the needed supplies, and Lincoln made Grant the head of the Union army, the man he refused to fire for drinking "because he fights". A general who was capable of carrying out that plan.
That's exactly the strategy Trump is employing with the federal government in his attack on the Deep State. Those are the two winning points Trump has on his side.
- He's coming after them from many fronts. Eric Utter calls his strategy “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once” Not only is the Deep State in a state of shock, so too is the Democrat party and the media. You can almost see the panic in their eyes.
- He has his "generals" in place who like Grant, "they fight", who are willing and capable of carrying out his plans. "This is it. This is the big one. The Mother of All Battles."
Eric goes on to quote Thomas Payne who because of his pamphlet Common Sense some consider Payne to be the Father of the American Revolution because it "galvanized public support for the Revolution", saying:
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow.”
As the DOGE team continues to expose how corrupt these bureaucracies have been, including potential charges of treason on the the horizon, the public is outraged. Anyone attacking Trump, the DOGE team, conservatives and the House and Senate hearing committees investigating all this is going to face a backlash, and they won't be able to counter that because the facts will speak for themselves, and the Pravda media won't be able to help them as it has almost no influence in America any longer. They've lied to America for decades and now they've been exposed, and America will not forget or forgive them for that.
The scale of corruption is off the charts and it turns out USAID has been funding the media, including the Trump hating Bill Kristol, and now that America is seeing where that money is going, America doesn't like it, including the vast sums wasted in what they call "foreign aid".
The swamp is going to be drained. There's wailing of doom and gloom in Washington insisting the nation can't survive these changes. But this didn't just happen. It went on for decades and both political parties passively participated it this growing cancer. And it's been an expensive cancer. The administrative state must be reformed, and now, because if it doesn't happen now, it won't happen, and that takes surgery with the leftists fighting against that with ever once of strength they can muster, including lies and personal attacks, and if what I'm reading is true, physical attacks also.
These agencies "colluded with the Democrat Party to take down Trump. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by the administrative state and Democrats to defeat, impeach, and imprison President Trump. Government agencies also undermine the security and interests of the American people."
Really smart people are really stupid entirely too often!

Let's
be clear, this cartoon wasn't meant to be a compliment to Trump, Musk,
or his DOGE team, but it is a reality many think is necessary and are
applauding the chainsaw approach. Only it isn't a chainsaw
approach.....it's an audit! An audit that's uncovering massive levels
of corruption and crime! All of which demands corrective action to stop
whats going on in the federal bureaucracies.
I think this isn't just an opportunity to bring these bureaucracies under control, it's an opportunity to take on the abuses by the federal judiciary, and the battle at the Treasury Department is going to be the acid test.
Initially a vile leftist judge attempted to block DOGE from having access to the Department of Treasury's records was the same character wh0 threw a 78 year old pro life woman into prison. Her order didn't prevent access entirely it merely limited that access to two DOGE employees, and imposed a "read only" access forbidding making any changes in their corrupt system of payments.
Then two days later in the Southern District of New York, where a ham sandwich could be charged with a crime and found guilty, Judge Paul Engelmayer responded to a complaint by 19 state's Attorney's General that what DOGE was doing "presents a unique security risk to the States and State residents whose data is held", which is interesting logic as a way to prevent exposure of fraud and criminal activity, and the judge bought into that somehow believing the federal judiciary can tell the President of the United State he can't oversee the departments he's responsible for under the Constitution. I'll tell you what, we'll come back to that.
Access was limited to “civil servants with a need for access … who have passed all background checks and security clearances and all information security training” required by laws and regulations”............
Not only has he entered a "no access" judgement, he's ordered the immediate destruction of all data they've obtained thus far, in spite of the fact they've shown massive levels of fraudulent payments. Why?
This ruling is absolutely insane, and it's illegal. His ruling was "issued ex parte, meaning the Trump administration, employers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, weren’t even in the room. Only these, these Democrat attorneys general were heard. The judge cites no law or logic to support this really aggressive order........” Where in the Constitution does it give this judge the authority to ignore the rule of law and prevent the President of the United States and the new Secretary of the Treasury from having access to:
"any Treasury Department record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees, other than to civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties within the Bureau of Fiscal Services.”
Their argument is the President of the United States, the head of the Executive Branch, and anyone he appoints to review what federal agencies are doing is illegal, but the actions by those already there, who were appointed by former Presidents, are legal. Does the word bizarre come to mind?
And it gets more bizarre as it was a "late-night order ", which should send up red flags right from the start, and this ruling continues to be more bizarre. Musk's DOGE team (which isn't a bunch of snot nosed kids as the media has portrayed them, and if the President of the United States clears them, then they're cleared as POTUS has ultimate clearance authority) has uncovered massive fraud at Treasury finding, just at this point, 100 billion dollars of fraud, and when Musk was asked how is it no one noticed and did nothing he retorted:
Treasury management cared enough before. I do want to credit the working level people in Treasury who have wanted to do this for many years, but have been stopped by prior management. Everything at Treasury was geared towards complain minimization. People who receive money don’t complain, but people who don’t receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very loudly, so the fraud was allowed to continue.
Remember, these are the management people are the only people Judge Paul Engelmayer says should have access to department data, and the changes the President wants made to prevent all that fraud must not be implemented.
- Elon Musk Outlines ‘Super Obvious’ Changes Treasury Has Agreed to Make for DOGE
- Musk Says DOGE, Treasury Agree on New Anti-Fraud Measures to Claw Back $50 Billion in Payment Fraud
Francis Menton permits me to publish his work, and this piece appeared at his Manhattan Contrarian last week, Democracy: What You Think It Means Versus What The Establishment Thinks, disputing this idea that DOGE is an illegal power grab asking:
Is there any organization in the country where the CEO and his staff don’t have access to the “central payment system” and the “personnel data”? How can any organization operate without that?............So Glasser joins Marcus in thinking that there is some significance to the fact that Musk is “unelected.” Do they not realize that the federal executive branch consists of only one elected person and another several million all of whom are un-elected? In summary, these people have been reduced to meaningless sputtering. They desperately want what Trump and Musk are doing to be an “illegal power grab,” but they can’t even think of or articulate a reason why.
In Menton's article, Kindergarten Konstitutional Law Comes To The Southern District Of New York, he notes "Article II of the Constitution is the line that describes the President’s main job: “[H]e shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”, he then asks:
Is the federal judge taking the position that in the name of enforcing the Take Care Clause, it is the role of the judiciary to oversee whatever the President does with the executive power that the Constitution vests in him? Is there some extra-legal notion that the federal judge should seize the power to put on the brakes when a President with questionable judgment is moving too fast?
By what constitutional provision does
this judge assume such power? None, and that is the basis for
challenging this ruling that no court can sever Presidential supervision mandated by
Article II’.
J.D. Vance Reminds Activist Judges to Stay in Their Lane “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal,”.... “If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal. Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”...........These frivolous lawsuits are akin to children throwing pasta at the wall to see if it will stick. …
This activist judge has resorted to locking the Senate-confirmed Secretary of Treasury out of his role. It’s absurd and judicial overreach,” .........““Grandstanding government efficiency speaks volumes about those who’d rather delay much-needed change with legal shenanigans than work with the Trump Administration of ridding the government of waste, fraud, and abuse.”
Judges have intervened to limit Trump’s early efforts related to:
- Birthright citizenship
- Sweeping spending freezes
- Government-wide resignation program, and the relocation transgender prison inmates.
- Another judge blocked Trump from putting 2,200 USAID workers on leave.
Eric Utter, one of my favorite writers states that which should be obvious to the most casual observer. These agencies "squandered" the taxpayers money, stole their freedom, dignity, along with their confidence and trust in America's government, without "which no society can long endure", even "forcing us to pay public servants and members of the mainstream media to lie to us."
Deep Staters have engaged in lying, obfuscation, gaslighting, projection, misuse of funds, and taxation without representation … for starters. No person with a conscience and an IQ over 50 should ever again access, let alone trust, the legacy media. Similarly, members of the Uniparty should be shown the door, as well.
Moreover, we cannot allow a single, unelected judge to stay the duly elected president’s hand and obstruct the will of the people to satisfy his own personal agenda … and/or vendetta. This is Banana Republic stuff, a clown show like no other.
But make no mistake, they represent a major danger. The left is in complete meltdown, screaming insanely to prevent what American's want Trump to do, end the corruption and reign in government, and do something about the 37 trillion dollars of national debt, which represents a death knell to the nation if left unchecked.

It's time for conservatives to challenge the overreach of the federal judiciary. Where there's clear abuse, as we've seen in the Engelmayer decision, it's my view Trump needs to take the view, they made their decisions, now let them enforce them.
As for impeaching these misfits, in all of American history there only been 15 judges who were impeached, and only eight were convicted. Conviction is impossible now. The real answer is a constitution amendment to end life time appointments to the federal judiciary, one of the biggest mistakes made by the founding fathers, and what were seeing right now is what many of the founders warned against from the beginning.
As for right now what the Senate can do is start hearings regarding the overreach and abuses of the federal judiciary. Force these judges to sit before the Judiciary Committee and explain how they came to their decisions, and show where in the Constitution it gives them authority for those decisions. Remember, the Constitution gives the Congress the authority to determine the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, and it's long overdue they exercised it, and if contempt of Congress charges are necessary for compliance, then so be it. It's time to rattle cages, as there may never be another opportunity.
Trump Administration Files Emergency Motion to Vacate Treasury’s Restraining Order — Asserts ‘No Court Can Sever Presidential Supervision Mandated by Article II’ - The Trump administration has filed an emergency motion to vacate an ex parte temporary restraining order issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This order egregiously interferes with the executive branch’s operations by limiting access to crucial Treasury Department systems. On Saturday, Obama appointee Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued an ex parte temporary restraining order that restricted access to Treasury systems exclusively to “civil servants,” explicitly excluding “all political appointees” from accessing these systems...........
The Greatest Heist of All Time: The Level of Corruption That Elon Musk and His DOGE Team Are Uncovering Is Absolutely Mind Blowing —Did you know that approximately $1,000,000,000 in obviously fraudulent payments flow through the U.S. Treasury’s payment system every week? Until Elon Musk and his DOGE team stepped in, nobody in the government was doing anything about this theft. Please read all the way to the end of this article for the details. Suspiciously, the Democrats are desperately trying to get the courts to keep Elon Musk and his team out of the U.S. Treasury’s payment system. Why is that? What are they working so hard to hide............?
Court Grants Request to Keep Venezuelan Illegals from Being Sent to Guantanamo - A federal court on Sunday blocked the Trump administration from sending three Venezuelan immigrants held in New Mexico to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba as part of the president’s immigration crackdown..............The Tren de Aragua gang originated in a lawless prison in the central Venezuelan state of Aragua more than a decade ago and has expanded in recent years as millions of desperate Venezuelans fled President President Nicolás Maduro ‘s rule and migrated to other parts of Latin America or the U.S............
Federal Judge Indefinitely Blocks Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Executive Order - A third federal judge has blocked Trump birthright citizenship executive order. US District Judge Joseph Laplante, a George W. Bush appointee, granted a preliminary injunction and indefinitely blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order. The injunction was in response to a lawsuit filed by New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support, LULAC and Make the Road New York, CBS News reported. The judge did not give a reason for the temporary injunction and said he will issue a decision on Tuesday..........
JUST IN: Rogue Judge Blocking Trump Agenda Exposed As Democrat Megadonor - New revelations show that a federal judge responsible for blocking key Trump administration policies is a longtime Democratic mega-donor. Judge John J. McConnell Jr., appointed by former President Barack Obama, has a history of contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic campaigns and political action committees............... His decision grants a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the administration’s effort to halt federal disbursements. The case, brought by a coalition of Democratic-led states, challenged Trump’s executive order aimed at reviewing federal spending for inefficiencies..............

The media, bureaucrats, and politicians—all mostly Democrats—squealed like stuck pigs when President Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy pointed out all of the wasteful spending that was in the 1,500 page Continuing Resolution; these government hacks couldn’t stand that their sweet little deal of handing out trillions of our dollars every few months to political supporters who would then line their pockets in return was blocked! Now, an article from USA Today says that that act of blocking a bill full of pork indicated that Trump’s second term would be disruptive—as if that is a bad thing!......
Andrea Widburg states correctly that Trump’s attack on the Deep State is spectacular and almost certainly legal, and we should just sit back and enjoy the screams and lamentations of the leftists as their taxpayer-funded boondoggle finally comes to an end.
The party of "no one is above the law" who
still falsely claims January 6 was an insurrection, are now doing
everything they can think of to stop Trump's agenda to expose the
Democrat party's corruption in the federal government, including shutting down the government. But that is a good thing, that will make it easier to get rid of them.
The Democrat Party is more like Democrat Party Inc. No longer a political party, it's a criminal organization. Like the mob they want the money, and that takes power. They've scrapped every positive policy in favor of corruption and globalism, and scream tyranny when Trump demands competence, accountability, transparency, and election integrity.
Government Gangsters’ Chronicles the Deep State’s Plot to Destroy Trump - “Government gangsters are the group of individuals—career bureaucrats—who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the United States government,” explains Kash Patel, the narrator of the new documentary film Government Gangsters.......... They pick a target and fabricate accusations,” he explains. “Then they deploy assets across agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Department of Justice to gather intelligence supporting their false claims. They leak these false findings to sympathetic mainstream media, which reinforce the original accusation with articles and news stories. Finally, they use federal machinery to bring down their target.”
The Democrats will continue to obstruct with lies, and unfounded charges that generate emotional responses, since they know they can't hold on to power without a corrupted bureaucracy in place, and they've a lot of allies in the bureaucracy who will do whatever it takes to prevent their political demise. One climate change’ officer vowed to resist Trump’s reforms, and if it hasn't already happened, at some point he's fired.
We're hearing talk of the Democrats forming a "Shadow Government", but they already had one: The federal bureaucracy. But that's going to be dismantled as a result of the end of the Chevron Doctrine, and Trump's dismantling these agencies. And done so quickly and so thoroughly it's prompted Democrat Governors, and Congress members to from a 'Shadow Government', a government that has absolutely no Constitutional foundation. The party of "no one is above the law", and the January 6th protest was an insurrection as great or not greater than the Civil War, is "stepping right up to the line of open rebellion", openly making plans to "resist constitutionally established authority".
Elected officials are telling government agencies to defy Trump's DEI directives, and within the bureaucracy, including the ATF, attempting to subvert Trump's directives, by disguising their DEI programs, or like the the FBI sweeping their DEI scheme under the rug, and the Pentagon freaking out trying to hide the evidence of the DEI schemes. But this isn't going to work like it did his first term, and he's made it clear there will be "adverse consequences for failing to report obfuscated programs." This is like a hurricane as has never been seen sweeping away all in its path, and if it hasn't happened already, it won't be long before they're going to hear "the two words" that are the vertebrae and ribs of the Trump administration:
"You're Fired".
I just started reading this outstanding article. Thank you to Rich Kozlovich for putting this together. With all the fraud, waste and abuse that DOGE has already discovered, we are not even close to $1 TRILLION.
