Let’s look at DOGE. And who started firing employees. Clinton, Gore, Obama.

Remember that Trump didn’t start the cutting out of deadwood employees and government waste. Also DOGE was already in place.

Let’s look at what happened under Clinton/Gore.

  • Reduced the size of federal civilian workforce by 426,200 positions between January 1993 and September 2000.1   Thirteen of 14 departments reduced in size. Closed nearly 2,000 obsolete field offices and eliminated 250 programs.
  • Cut government by eliminating what wasn’t needed bloated headquarters, layers of managers, outdated field offices, obsolete red tape and rules. For example, cut 78,000 managers governmentwide.
  • And who created DOGE?
  • Trump didn’t create a new Cabinet-level department with DOGE, but rather renamed the previously existing United States Digital Service, which was created under former President Barack Obama.That office launched in 2014 to improve the federal government’s digital capabilities following the rocky rollout of the HealthCare.gov website.

Looking at corruption. NY politician. The Governor.

We’re hearing  about the allegations about the mayor of NYC, but has anyone brought up the governor? The lady who back in 2022 took hundreds of thousands in donations from a vendor who sold COVID tests for $637million. The cost from three other vendors? $212 million.

The price offered by a donor to the governor was over $12 per test, far steeper than what other companies were proposing for similar rapid antigen tests. Hochul’s administration had just approved a deal with another firm to buy 5 million tests for just $5 each.

The CEO of the donor even had a fundraiser for the governor. Her response?
“I was not aware that this was a company that had been supportive of me,” Hochul said during a July 20 press briefing, referring to the campaign donations. “I don’t keep track of that. My team, they have no idea.”

Moving forward, how about The $850 million, taxpayer-funded deal to build a $1.4 billion stadium for the Buffalo Bills 

Her husband’s company stands to offer food services to the Bills for the next thirty years.

“They have operated concessions, premium dining and retail services at Highmark Stadium since 1992. The 71,870-seat venue is home of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills,” a summary on the firm’s website says.

“Their culinary team creates locally and regionally inspired fare for the stadium’s 66 concession outlets. Premium dining includes 123 suites and seven clubs offering in-seat service.

“They manages 19 retail outlets, including a year-round team store and 18 permanent and portable stands,” the firm says.

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.

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.

Working at being this stupid. Blasts Trump Jobs Report, Goes Silent When It Turns outThey Were Biden’s Numbers Instead.

Congresswoman Crockett never ceases to amaze. An affirmative/DEI elected loon went after President Trump on the jobs report. Her claim was that after two weeks he wasn’t creating enough jobs based on the latest jobs report.

What this loon doesn’t realize is that the January jobs report ends on the 12th of the month.  “So it turns out when you DON’T go woke, you go broke,” she said on X. “It’s only two weeks in and Trump is Making America Broke Again!” she added. President Trump came into office on the 20th so these are Biden’s numbers.

Make Europe Great Again.

Make Europe Great Again.

Portugal Chega’s Andre Ventura, Dutch PVV’s Geert Wilders, French National Rally’s Marine Le Pen, Spanish Vox’s Santiago Abascal, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. This group met in Spain to show that Trump MAGA has turned into Europe MEGA. Make Europe great again.
‘Patriots for Europe’ has become the European Parliament’s third-largest force.
The group has highlighted the ideological affinity between the European right and Trump – especially on immigration.
“’President Trump, to us, is like a brother in arms’, said [Netherland’s Geert] Wilders, who called for a ‘Reconquista’ of Europe, like the wars waged by Spanish Christian monarchs to retake the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim kingdoms between the eighth and 15th centuries.”
Europe has fallen on hard times. Following the Biden administrations policy of open borders has caused crime to go through the roof. In some countries the Muslim hordes have taken over large parts of many of the cities.

Stupidity already started in California. Gavin Newsom to Victims of California Fires: ‘You Can’t Rebuild the Same, Have to Rebuild With Climate Reality in Mind’.

Less than 24 hours after going to Washington and kissing Trumps ass, Newsom goes back to his mind set that makes the fires worse. He’s telling the folks who are going to rebuild that you have to go along with the Science deniers and build climate friendly housing.

Gavin Newsom just appeared on CNN and explained that people ‘can’t rebuild the same.’ Newsom suggests that there is a new reality due to the ‘science’ and climate change, and that all of that has to be taken into account as people rebuild.

Why Conservatives and the majority of Americans are on the 80% of all issues.

This morning I heard the perfect breakdown of what’s called 80 20. Take all the issues of today and what’s President Trump is doing is supported by the 80.

Democrat politicians supporting Illegals, Transgender, Wasteful Spending, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and finally old men and women being guided by the 20 and 30 something crowd.

The 2024 elections gave President Trump a mandate. He was open about what he was going to do and he was also open about Musk. The President said a sledge hammer would be used to fix things. Promises made, Promises kept.
