January 30, 2025 - During his confirmation hearing, Kash Patel tells Sen. Marsha Blackburn he will expose the people on the Epstein list

“Child sex trafficking has no place in the United States of America and I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI Director, to make sure the American public knows the full weight of what happened in the past, and how we are going to counter man missing children and exploited children going forward.”

December 6, 2023 – Durbin accused of blocking subpoenas, lying about Jeffrey Epstein flight logs

A whirlwind of controversy surrounds U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, and flight logs belonging to the family of Jeffrey Epstein.

The plane was allegedly used to fly underage girls to Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Epstein pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and was later found dead in his jail cell.

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, has publicly called out Durbin for blocking her request to file a subpoena for the flight logs and then lying about any knowledge of the request.

During a recent Judiciary Committee hearing, Durbin said he wanted to go on the record and asked Blackburn about the matter.

“You and I have never personally discussed this, have we?” said Durbin

“We talked briefly on the floor,” said Blackburn.

“You never mentioned what the subject matter of your amendment was,” said Durbin.

“In committee I brought up the subject matter of my amendment,” said Blackburn.“Not in my presence,” said Durbin.But during a Nov. 9 hearing presided over by Durbin, Blackburn did, in fact, mention the subpoena of flight logs.“Since we’re in the business of issuing subpoenas now, here are a few more I have filed,” said Blackburn. “A subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane. Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct.”Blackburn has called Durbin’s actions a “sad day in the history of the prestigious Judiciary Committee.”

On Wednesday, Blackburn posted questions on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Why did Senator Durbin appear to not know about my subpoena request for Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs? Why are the Democrats stonewalling this issue?”

January 30, 2025 - Donald Trump suggests the recent DC mid-air crash may be related to Obama and Biden lowering standards for air traffic controllers

Tucker Carlson had already unearthed proof back in 2018 that the Obama administration had placed a new emphasis on diversity over traditional hiring practices at the Federal Aviation Administration.

President Donald Trump suggested during a news briefing Thursday that the crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., may have had something to do with the lowering of standards for air traffic controllers that occurred first during the Obama administration and later during President Joe Biden’s time in office.

In June 2018, then-Fox News host Carlson covered the topic, saying, “The Obama administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals. Now nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air traffic controllers. No one will explain it now.”

Carlson explained that the FAA added a biographical questionnaire to the air traffic controller application process, which he said gave more points to would-be controllers who lacked a scientific background or who had been unemployed for the previous three years than they did to licensed pilots.

“In other words, the FAA actively searched for unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane, and they knew it was insane when they did it, but they did it anyway,” he said.

In an email Carlson said he obtained, the executive who created the biographical questionnaire “admits that the test he devised has nothing to do with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you want good air traffic controllers, find people with experience. That was his advice. The FAA ignored this, and used the biographical screen anyway. … Compared to diversity, your safety meant nothing to them.”

The Washington Times editorial board also wrote about the topic in a February 2024 opinion piece following near misses at Reagan National, where Wednesday’s crash took place, and Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

The Times cited a 2013 FAA document titled “Controller Hiring by the Numbers,” which asked, “How much of a change in job performance is acceptable to achieve what diversity goals?”

The news outlet noted in 2012 that the FAA temporarily halted hiring of new controllers and replaced its race-blind hiring rules with a “Biographical Assessment” stratagem intended to hire more minorities.

Playing four or more sports in high school was worth 5 points in the survey, while holding a pilot’s license only earned an applicant 2 points.

“More than 3,000 top-performing, motivated applicants lost out because they weren’t members of this ethnic club,” the Times said.

(…) In 2018, Carlson interviewed aviation attorney and former air traffic controller Michael Pearson, who represented plaintiffs in a suit against the FAA in 2015 on the new hiring criteria.

Pearson recounted, “In late 2011, early 2012, members of the National Black Controllers Association had a meeting with the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Jesse Jackson, and some high-level [Department of Transportation] and FAA officials. Michael Huerta [then head of the FAA] was part of those meetings. And right after that meeting, the FAA put an immediate hold on hiring. They stopped hiring.”

He verified what both Carlson and the Times reported regarding the biographical questionnaire: That it did not test actual aptitude and background to be a good air traffic controller.

The media doesn’t know what it’s getting into picking a fight with Trump over DEI in air travel.

Here’s the facts: The Obama Administration threw out ALL the results of a merit-based air traffic controller hiring test, wrecking the career plans of people who’d spent thousands of dollars pursuing that career.

Then, the Obama Administration created a new test where they INTENTIONALLY selected for less capable people merely on the hope that they’d be less white. All of this has been proven in the filings of an extensive class-action lawsuit against the FAA.

Let me repeat that: Democrats didn’t simply create a quota system, or discriminate based on race. They deliberately worked to make new air traffic controllers dumber, hoping that diversity would be the side effect. That’s how obsessed the left is with DEI, and how little they care about protecting the lives of fliers.

Conservatives should welcome this fight. Nothing better represents how evil DEI is and how antithetical it is to human life and American success.

January 30, 2025 - The RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel inquisitions prove the intelligence community and big corporate interests control government

That’s the inescapable conclusion for anyone who watched the grand pantomimes being displayed in the past 24 hours.

There’s a debate amid the newly awakened and many who do not want to believe it; but there is no denying that Trump 2.0 is revealing even more layers of how far astray the Republic has gone.

Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump.  Both wings of the DC UniParty fear Trump.  Extreme efforts at control are always a reaction to fear.  I make my case not on supposition, but on empirical reference points that most should understand.

Within the politics of it, the DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.

Multinational corporations do not like capitalism because within the process of capitalism they do not have control over the financial outcomes.  Capitalism breeds competition: multinationals abhor competition, they are totalitarian in ideology and want the entire pie under their control.  Multinational corporations do not like capitalism; underline it, emphasize it, do not forget it.

Capitalism is based on the principles of a free market.  Multinationals do not want a free market; they want a controlled market.  Their effort toward promoting mandatory vaccine compliance is an example of yet another control they can manipulate for maximum financial benefit.  It really is that simple.

Meanwhile the crew of UniParty politicians behind DC know they can benefit from their corporate allies.  The multinationals will pay the politicians for control and the politicians will construct defensive legislative outcomes that protect the multinationals.  That is what is happening in exponentially increasing sunlight.

January 30, 2025 - Senator Whitehouse demands RFK Jr support “forced mandatory vaccinations” or no confirmation support

If this is indeed representative of half the country, then we are dealing with half the country having a severe mental illness.

Sheldon Whitehouse tells RFK Jr during his confirmation hearing today that support for forced, mandatory vaccinations is required as the baseline for supporting his nomination to HHS Secretary.   The moment comes at 00:50 of Whitehouse reading his script.  The intensity and vitriol behind the statement is a testimony to the scale of money from Big Pharma to these senators.  WATCH:

January 30, 2025 - FBI whistleblower: The senior leadership of the FBI has been purged

(…) FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed last night that the purge went beyond the six Executive Assistant Directors; it also included 25 Special Agents in Charge.

According to Seraphin, there are three individual leadership positions at the top of the FBI:  the Director, the Deputy Director, and the Associate Deputy Director.

Below that, there are seven “branch heads” known as Executive Assistant Directors, while the Special Agents in Charge (SACs) lead each of 56 field offices across the country.

One of those SACs, according to Seraphin, was Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans, who led the field office in Las Vegas, Nevada, and who recently spearheaded the investigation into the alleged suicide of a Green Beret who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump Hotel on New Year’s Day.

He was also the SAC that denied Seraphin his religious exemption from the COVID vaccine, which in part led to his indefinite suspension.

Seraphin also mentioned the widespread terminations of a group of former agents known as “The Suspendables,” which include former agents Steve Friend and Garrett O’Boyle.

O’Boyle was suspended in September 2022 after he blew the whistle on the FBI using threat tags to target pro-life individuals after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Friend blew the whistle over the exaggeration of statistics regarding the threat of domestic terrorism, as well as the overzealous tactics used against Jan 6 protesters by the bureau. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 1/31/2025)  (Archive)

January 31, 2025 - Justice Department fires January 6 federal prosecutors in the DC U.S. Attorney’s office

Earlier Friday Trump fired the head of the FBI Washington Field Office, according to NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian.

David Sundberg is the highest ranking FBI official to be fired in Trump’s second term. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey during his first term.

Sundberg oversaw the January 6 investigation and the investigation into the so-called DNC pipe bomber.

According to NBC’s Ken Dilanian, the purge is much larger than originally reported and includes more than 20 heads of FBI Field Offices.

January 31, 2025 - Top Treasury official resigns; his manager, an Obama insider and BlackRock advisor, resigns; DOGE team discovers Treasury is funding terrorist groups

The Trump administration pushed out a top Treasury Department official this week after he refused to give Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the government’s vast payment system, part of a bid by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency to choke off federal funding.

David Lebryk, a career civil servant who oversaw the more than one billion payments that the federal government makes every year, was placed on administrative leave this week after resisting requests from Mr. Musk’s lieutenants, according to people familiar with the circumstances, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive internal dynamics.

On Friday, Mr. Lebryk — who had briefly served as acting Treasury secretary until the confirmation of Scott Bessent this week — told colleagues that he would retire after more than 35 years of working for the government.

(…) Mr. Musk, a billionaire, has dispatched aides across the bureaucracy to try to radically reduce spending. He has told Trump administration officials that he aims to take control of the Treasury computers used to complete payments in order to identify fraud and abuse, according to three people familiar with his remarks.

The Treasury Department executes payments on behalf of agencies across the government, disbursing $5.4 trillion, or 88 percent of all federal payments, in the last fiscal year. The system is run out of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, a little-known but critical office that is responsible for getting money to Social Security recipients, government employees, contractors and others.

February 2025 - Democrats' 'comeback retreat' suggests party should 'embrace patriotism' and 'reduce far-left influence'

In early February, a group of moderate Democratic consultants, campaign staffers, elected officials and party leaders gathered in Loudoun County, Virginia, for a day-and-a-half retreat where they plotted their party’s comeback.

The gathering — organized by Third Way, the centrist Democratic think tank, and operated by Chatham House Rules — resulted in five pages of takeaways, a document Playbook obtained from one of the participants. (Not all attendees endorsed each point.)

“In the wake of this election, where it became so evident that the things that the left was doing and saying deeply hurt Harris and down-ballot Democrats, a lot of people are looking to us, not just Third Way, but the moderates in the party, and saying, ‘We got to do it your way, because the other way ain’t working,’” said Third Way’s Matt Bennett, who helped organize the February retreat.

The document itselfis perhaps the most comprehensive of its kind following the election — both in its analysis of what went wrong and how to fix it.

The retreat’s conversation centered on a disconnect with the working class. Among the causes of that disconnect: weak messaging and communication, failure to prioritize economic concerns, overemphasis on identity politics, allowing the far left to define the party, and attachment to unpopular institutions such as academia, media and government bureaucracy.

Those gathered then laid out 20 solutions for how Democrats can regain working-class trust and reconnect with them culturally.

February 1, 2025 - USAID website goes dark as Trump plans to shift agency under State Department

The website of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) went offline Saturday evening amid reports that the Trump administration was preparing to curtail USAID’s independence by placing it under the direct oversight of the State Department.

An error message on USAID’s website read: “This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in www.usaid.gov. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN.”

Two sources familiar with the transition told Reuters that a major overhaul is expected in how Washington allocates US foreign aid, with USAID losing its independence and most likely coming under the control of the State Department.

By late Saturday, a new ‘lite’ page for USAID appeared on the State Department’s website.

(Credit: Andrew Harnik/AP)

President Trump fired Rohit Chopra, the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Saturday.

Rohit Chopra received an email Saturday morning informing him that he had been terminated, CNN reported.

On Saturday Chopra announced he was leaving the post.

Rohit Chopra was a toxic Biden holdover who previously threatened banks that refused to give credit lines and loans to illegal aliens.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the DOJ warned banks and lending institutions in a joint statement in October 2023.

“The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Justice Department today issued a joint statement that reminds financial institutions that all credit applicants are protected from discrimination on the basis of their national origin, race, and other characteristics covered by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, regardless of their immigration status,” the CFPB said in a statement.

“The CFPB and Justice Department are issuing this statement because consumers have reported being rejected for credit cards as well as for auto, student, personal, and equipment loans because of their immigration status, even when they have strong credit histories and ties to the United States and are otherwise qualified to receive the loans.” they said.

“Fair access to credit is crucially important for building wealth and strengthening household financial stability,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. “The CFPB will not allow companies to use immigration status as an excuse for illegal discrimination.”

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke warned banks that they may be violating federal law if they don’t give illegal aliens loans. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 2/1/2025)  (Archive)

February 1, 2025 - Elon Musk’s DOGE locks federal human resources workers out of computer systems at Office of Personnel Management (OPM)

Elon Musk’s aides have locked career government bureaucrats out of computer systems that operate a federal government human resources agency.

Musk, the owner of social media platform X and the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency — which is tasked with slashing government waste, fraud, and abuse — installed allies at the government resources agency known as the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

Reuters, citing government officials who spoke to the outlet anonymously, said career bureaucrats have had their access to governments systems revoked.

“We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems,” one official said.

“That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications,” the official claimed.

OPM has sought to remove many in the federal government; the agency has sent out memos encouraging bureaucrats to take buyout offers to quit and take a vacation to a “dream destination.” The buyout package includes eight months pay if the civil servant chooses to retire.

Musk’s allies have figuratively set up camp at the OPM headquarters so they work round the clock:

A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20, the day Trump took office. They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency’s headquarters, which contains the director’s office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort, one of the OPM employees said. The sofa beds have been installed so the team can work around the clock, the employee said.

“It feels like a hostile takeover,” one employee lamented.

The OPM is reportedly run by Amanda Scales, a former Musk employee, who now serves as the agency’s chief of staff. Riccardo Biasini, a former engineer at Tesla, also works as a senior adviser to the agency. (Read more: Breitbart News, 2/01/2025)  (Archive)

February 3, 2025 - President Trump's lawsuit against Pulitzer Prize board members moves to discovery phase

Clipping of a New York Post article that addresses the absurd Pulitzer Price given to the NY Times and Washington Post, 2/21/2022.

President Donald Trump scored a significant legal win Monday in his lawsuit against the members of the Pulitzer Prize Board, paving the way towards the discovery phase in their courtroom battle.

Judge Robert L. Pegg (Credit: public domain)

Last week, the board members filed a motion for Protective Order Governing Discovery in hopes of shielding their internal communications involving the decision to award The New York Times and The Washington Post a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on Russiagate during Trump’s first term in office.

Judge Robert L. Pegg of the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in Okeechobee County, Florida, stuck down their motion.

“The rule requires ‘an affirmative showing of annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense’ from such party or person… Defendants have failed to meet this requirement, as there is no factual support in the record demonstrating that any defendant, much less each defendant, would be subject to annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense if a protective order is not entered,” Pegg wrote in his filing.

“President Trump is committed to holding those who traffic in deception and fake news to account,” Trump attorney Quincy Bird told Fox News Digital. “The defendants, hiding behind the once-prestigious Pulitzer Prizes, attempted to resurrect a left-wing hoax by giving, as well as continuing to stand by and republishing, its disgraced award to the organizations that drove the infamous ‘Russia Russia Russia’ hoax.”

“This was a defamatory scam designed to damage President Trump’s image and presidential campaign. After today’s win in court, this case will now proceed to a very thorough discovery process and President Trumpis committed to seeing this case through to a just conclusion,” Bird added.

February 3, 2025 - DHS official says the agency will defy Kristi Noem if they 'don't agree with' her priorities

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official was caught on undercover video admitting that the agency intends to defy the directives of newly confirmed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, according to footage released by James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group.

Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for DHS, was recorded saying that the agency’s career bureaucrats do not allow political appointees to interfere with their operations. He told the undercover reporter, “Kristi Noem? I f*cking hate her.”

“The secretaries can set the priorities for the department, but they can’t actually tell us what to do,” Wright told an undercover OMG journalist, later adding, “The truth is, we don’t let them [secretaries] get in our way.” He said, “If we don’t agree with those priorities, there is a lot of room for interpretation, in terms of how we interpret what those priorities are.”

He compared the government’s bureaucratic structure to a septic tank, saying that there are layers that allow employees to filter directives in a way that minimizes their impact. “There’s a lot of layers like that in the government. And by the time the actual marching orders get to, like, me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship,” he said.

“She doesn’t know her a**,” he remarked, adding, “The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her f*cking head, and she wouldn’t recognize what it is. Kristi Noem doesn’t know sh*t” He also expressed frustration over her leadership style, saying, “To say that I am not excited about this would be the most epic understatement.”

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said, “Secretary Noem has not seen the video in its entirety. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. This person has been placed on leave and is under investigation…The senior official says the termination of the official is imminent.” (Read more: The Post Millennial, 2/3/2025) (Archive)

(The tweet below would not embed for me so there is a link below the photo.)

“The truth is, we don’t let them [secretaries] get in our way,” admits Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for the Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov), on hidden camera, to an undercover @OKeefeMedia Journalist. Drawing an analogy to a septic tank, Wright described the multi-layered bureaucracy within DHS: “There’s a lot of layers, like [in] government… By the time the actual marching orders get to me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship.”

“If we don’t agree with those priorities,” he said, noting executing orders often involves deceptively construing priorities set by political appointees to make them more practical and less disruptive, adding, “there’s a lot of room for interpretation.”

When discussing @KristiNoem’s role as the Trump-appointed DHS Secretary, Wright didn’t mince words on his opinions over Noem’s qualifications for the position. “Kristi Noem doesn’t know… She doesn’t know her ass,” he remarked, adding, “The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her f*cking head, and she wouldn’t recognize what it is.”

Wright also admitted his personal dislike of her leadership style, adding, “To say that I am not excited about this would be the most epic understatement.”

The Department of Homeland Security provided the following statement to O’Keefe Media Group:

“Secretary Noem has not seen the video in its entirety. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. This person has been placed on leave and is under investigation … The senior official says the termination of the official is imminent.”

February 3, 2025 - Zelensky claims Ukraine received less than half of U.S. aid - ‘Don’t know where all that money went’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his country has only received around $76 billion in aid from the United States despite America authorising around $175 billion to support the war-torn country.

In an interview with the Associated Press published over the weekend, President Zelensky said he doesn’t know where most of the money the United States allocated under the Biden administration to Ukraine has gone.

“When I hear – both in the past and even now – from the U.S. that America has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions, as the president of a nation at war, I can tell you – we’ve received more than $75 billion,” he said. “We’re talking about tangible things because this aid didn’t come as cash but rather as weapons, which amounted to about $70 billion.”

“But when it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true. I don’t know where all that money went,” Zelensky admitted.

“Perhaps it’s true on paper with hundreds of different programmes – I won’t argue, and we’re immensely grateful for everything. But in reality, we received about $76 billion. It’s significant aid, but it’s not $200 billion.”

The Ukrainian leader suggested that perhaps the additional funds went to humanitarian programmes, which he said he was “uninformed about, except for knowing of their existence”.

“Perhaps the U.S. President’s administration will audit these programmes and find additional billions, but I don’t know where those funds went,” Zelensky said.

February 3, 2025 - The DOGE team is doxxed

DOGE: One of the ‘journalists’ who decided to doxx members of Trump’s DOGE team is a Mashable reporter a couple of years out of UNT who likes to sleep in his free time with his orange cat. He reviewed the background of the DOGE team and found them lacking. Let me tell you a little about them:

– degrees from Stanford, UC Berkeley, & MIT
– work experience at Google, Tesla, SpaceX, and OpenAI
– Several hold patents in critical areas such as blockchain consensus mechanisms, AI-driven fraud detection, and scalable payment networks
– Others pioneered open-source frameworks used by developers worldwide or built award-winning solutions in decentralized finance (DeFi) and robotics
– One member decoded ancient texts using machine learning, earning recognition in top scientific journals
– One designed a blockchain-based remittance system that transformed financial access in underserved regions
– Their work has been celebrated at premier tech conferences, in academic publications, and through accolades like hackathon victories and fellowships reserved for visionary innovators

Their youth is an asset: it brings fresh perspectives, fluency in emerging technologies, and the agility to iterate rapidly in a fast-evolving space. Far from being “unqualified,” their track records of solving complex problems, often ahead of industry curves, position them among the nation’s brightest minds—proof that capability is defined not by age, but by vision, execution, and impact. I certainly don’t think the Mashable reporter is in any position to judge these people.

February 4, 2025 - FBI gives up details of over 5,000 employees involved in Jan. 6 cases To DOJ

FBI officials turned over information from thousands of employees who worked on cases concerning Jan. 6 to President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a Tuesday report.

Out of over 13,000 agents and 38,000 FBI employees, the details of more than 5,000 personnel were sent to the DOJ, sources familiar told CNN. Information provided included employee identification numbers, work titles and any roles in investigations connected to Jan. 6, according to a source, though names were excluded.

The report does not note how many out of the 5,000 were FBI agents.

The Daily Caller reached out to the FBI, which referred the Caller to the DOJ. The DOJ has not responded at the time of publication.

The DOJ sent a survey to agents and employees about their potential roles in Jan. 6 investigations. It was due by 3 p.m. Monday.

Multiple anonymous agents and employees sued the DOJ on Tuesday over its questionnaire, arguing it was “retribution.”

“Plaintiffs assert that the specific purpose of this survey is to identify agents and other FBI personnel to be terminated as a form of politically motivated retribution,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit also claims the DOJ violated the First Amendment and privacy laws. The employees were told that the “aggregated information” collected from the surveys would be sent to senior management, according to documents. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 2/4/2025)  (Archive)

February 4, 2025 - Democrats call for war, revolution, and fighting in the street

…The anti-Elon Musk rally last night proved two things: Trump derangement syndrome has been replaced by Elon Musk derangement syndrome. Second, the Democratic Party has no idea how to win elections. The reports of a rudderless, leaderless, and divided organization were confirmed last night. It also showed that they have no message other than ‘me no like this Trump administration,’ of which Elon Musk is a top agent of the president. His Department of Government Efficiency is wiping the table clean, exposing waste and fraud, and getting these lazy DC government workers to quit.

They already delivered a smackdown to legacy officials at the Treasury Department before Scott Bessent was confirmed as its next secretary. USAID has been virtually gutted, becoming absorbed into the State Department, where all overseas missions were ordered closed by Friday. The entire staff is slated to be furloughed this week. The CIA is also running scared, offering its entire workforce buyout options. The DOGE crew has accessed the Small Business Administration’s accounts, and Democrats cannot understand nor tolerate that the government doesn’t have to waste our tax dollars.

“Disclosure of your name, immigration status, and mode of entry is not mandatory,” she added.

Omar went on to tell Somali illegals that they needed to take steps to educate themselves on America’s immigration laws to combat ICE better.

“Learn the laws and prepare yourself,” she said. “And refrain from disclosing information that you would prefer them not to know.”
