It definitely sounds like a lot of whistleblowers are letting DOGE know where the worst waste fraud and abuse is.

What ever happened with Michelle Malkin by the way? Don't feel like I've heard of anything from her in years. Use to be a big name in conservative media.
Uh oh. The Canuck may post an N word somewhere soon after this
Benz was talking about the UN and EU having "disinfo" journalist classes that were really just censorship training. Using our own money to push their agenda and squash any dissent.
I think she's semi retired. She used to be real good though.
Good question. She sold her businesses (Hot Air, Twitchy) and comments part-time for News Max. Believe it or not, she's an Oberlin College grad. Still considered "far right".
Our immigration and naturalization process had several long periods with no immigration allowed in order to allow the ones here to culturally assimilate. But that was when we were led by sane people who weren't trying to destroy our country and collapse the system.

According to mike benz (the person elon quote tweeted) usaid is way worse than just that. They were essentially the money laundering slush fund for the cia/shadow government that was destroying this country.
I’ll respond to #2. Historically the US has relied on cheap labor. This goes back hundreds of years. Historically, that cheap labor, more often than not, comes from immigrants (legal and illegal). You can talk about the business models all you want but one of two things will happen. Those businesses will go under if they don’t start paying more to attract native born Americans. If that is the case, supplies will be limited and prices will go up. Or those businesses will pay more to their workers and prices will go up. People will lose their minds when prices are high (plus certain products that are tariffed). It’s going to hit hard in construction, food and other service based industries that rely on immigrant labor.
This is a way to cover for trumps tariffs driving up prices on things right? Youre admitting that it’s going to have that effect right? Also since when have any of you cared about good wages for people?
USAID was how people like Soros can do so much harm with just a few million dollars here and there. He's only setting up the programs and then he gets the government to fund them.
NPR needed to be defunded in the 90's. It's been insanely biased for way too long.
Didn't know this. I will make the change.
Also from the Vance interview today, his comments on Hakeem Jefferies:
Vance: “These people remind me sometimes of the folks that were still fighting World War Two in an isolated island like 30 years later."
"The American people have spoken. They are sick of the ridiculous performative politics."
“For Hakeem Jeffries to go out and say that you need to fight in the streets, it's dangerous. It's disgraceful rhetoric. And it's not at all what the American people ask."
"Do you want a congressional Democratic leadership that fights in the streets or that makes your life better?"

88!!! Time flies
It's amazing, and stupid, how detailed the records that were kept by the Nazis in the concentration camps.
Are you 10 years old or something? Can you not remember a time when we hadn’t traded our working class for cheap shit?
No one shits on the military more than the right, especially the people on this board.
Yeah God forbid they celebrate black history month. Dear God.Hate the NBA (wonder why)......and don't watch
flipping channels during commercial on pebble beach golf tourny today and on msnbc they were discussing how the price of eggs in 2025 could be the highest ever
😂
Trudeau is starting this trade war knowing he's gone in a month or so. Think of how petty that is. Damn near as bad as Biden.
Trump out there roasting everyone tonight:
I bet she smells bad too
You guys spent the last 4 years bitching because eggs and bacon cost a lot more and it was Biden fault. Now Trump is going to cause price increases on even more things and you post a stupid meme saying you’re cool with paying more. Square that one for me.
Kanye showed up to the grammy's with a naked wife. LOL. In case anyone was wondering if he's still batshit crazy. LOL
Anyone catch the McConnell interview on 60 Minutes?
Worth a listen on waste... Our government was just throwing money down a drain.
Look at all this insanity that woud have just have rolled right on had Trump not won.
We could probably have a balanced budget easily, or get very close. Heads must roll.
Doge is also using AI to look for waste fraud and abuse.
- AI for Bill Analysis: DOGE has been employing AI to analyze government spending line by line. This includes looking for networks of NGOs that receive federal funding, with the aim of identifying wasteful spending or inefficiencies.
- Transparency and Blockchain: There's also exploration into using blockchain technology for federal spending transparency, which could be part of an AI-driven system to track and analyze expenditures more efficiently.
- Public Statements: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have publicly discussed using AI to sift through government data, with mentions of creating an AI "intern" to help tackle government waste. This was highlighted in posts on X, where they introduced the concept of a "DOGE AI Intern" to assist in their mission.
- Efficiency in Contracting: AI is being utilized to review and potentially cancel contracts deemed wasteful, particularly those related to DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, which Musk has criticized.
- Public Tracking: The "DOGE CLOCK" on the U.S. Debt Clock website uses AI or at least data analytics to track savings in real-time, providing a public-facing display of their efficiency efforts.
Giving access to some much information to the CEO of Twitter is such an awful idea. DOGE is not an official agency and their team doesn’t have the proper security clearances. So why are we cool with giving them all of our info other than that you guys are so far up his ass?

Elon said he thinks he can cut $1.4T by end of next year. That's pretty damn good.

It's probably been posted but I guess I've been under a rock. Trans vegan genius death cult called Ziz. lol wtf?
H1-b visa holders from Germany shot a border patrol agent in New England. They evidently get around. Their guns were linked to a double homicide in Pennsylvania. They are wanted in California for impaling a man with a sword and repeatedly stabbing him after squatting on his property.
