Why eliminating DOE is the right move.

The first move of cutting the staff in half eliminates many patron jobs. Second move to eliminate the red tape removes more folks. Now you have all that money that goes directly to the states.

In fiscal year 2024 alone, the net cost to operate the department was more than $218 billion, according to an analysis from the Pew Research Center. Net outlays, a similar metric that incorporates certain accounting adjustments, totaled $267.9 billion that same year.

That’s 267.9 billion that would go to the states.

After last night, who wouldn’t be proud to have Trump as their President?

President Trump hits a home run.

After last night, who wouldn’t be proud to have Trump as their President?

Last night the whole world heard our President and what he would do to fix all the issues that the past administration created. Yes their were disruptions from the losers on the left, and yes our President took note and called out the disrupters.

Below are a few highlights from last night. If you missed last night, you missed the master at work.

Some of the appalling waste we have already identified.”

-$22 billion for housing & cars for illegal aliens
-$45 million for DEI scholarships in Burma
-$40 million for inclusion of sedentary migrants
-$8 million to promote LGBTQ+ in Lesotho
-$60 million for Afro-Colombian empowerment
-$8 million for making mice transgender
-$32 million for left-wing propaganda in Moldova
-$10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique
-$20 million for Arab Sesame Street
-$1.9 billion for Stacey Abrams & decarbonization
-$3.5 million for lavish fish monitoring
-$1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia

“We have ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.”

“How did that work out?”

What a great idea. US Launches ‘End DEI’ Portal for Public Complaints About Diversity in Schools.

Why didn’t I think of this?

“The U.S. Department of Education launched EndDEI.Ed.Gov, a public portal for parents, students, teachers, and the broader community to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools,” the department said.

“The secure portal allows parents to provide an email address, the name of the student’s school or school district, and details of the concerning practices. The Department of Education will use submissions as a guide to identify potential areas for investigation.”

Out with the rubbish.

You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet. 75,000 down, how many millions to go?

Now it looks as if the buyouts are over. Now the fun begins. How many will be fired or laid off? I’m thinking it can go into the millions.We may see whole departments combined or done away with.

Now the folks who stayed will not get the generous buyouts but at best unemployment. Worst could be denial of benefits and possible loss of pension.

Judge says cut, cut, cut. Lifts ban on buyouts.

Judge says cut, cut, cut. Lifts ban on buyouts.

President Trump campaigned saying he would cut the size of government and find waste and fraud. And he started offering generous employee buyouts. Folks taking them were union.

Union workers by the tens of thousands said we want out. Well the unions went to court and got a temporary stay. But that ended. We have this.

CBS News reported:

A federal judge in Massachusetts allowed the Trump administration’s bid to offer “deferred resignations” to federal workers who voluntarily leave government service to continue and lifted a previous court order pausing the program’s deadline.

Judge George O’Toole, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, ruled Wednesday that the plaintiffs in the case — unions that represent federal employees — lacked standing to bring the case in the first place. He also ruled he did not have the jurisdiction to stop the program from proceeding.

Bring back leaded gas, and get rid of the EPA. SEC: Won’t Defend Biden-Era Climate Rule in Court.

Mark Uyeda, acting chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said Tuesday the agency will not defend a “deeply flawed” rule enacted by the Biden administration that requires publicly held companies to disclose climate-related risks and, in some cases, the details of their emissions.

“The Rule is deeply flawed and could inflict significant harm on the capital markets and our economy,” Uyeda said in a news release.

Guess who was one of the groups that supported the Biden rule?

The Sierra Club was among many environmental groups that filed an amicus brief in the 8th Circuit in support of the Biden-era rule.

You got the Tariffs, Don’t do what you did the last time. Steel and Aluminum.

The last time President Trump placed the Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum, the American companies raised their prices. This was wrong and let us hope that someone in government keeps an eye on this.

Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Vietnam are the biggest sellers of steel into the U.S., according to American Iron and Steel Institute data, while Canada is the dominant supplier of imported aluminum.
