Elon Musk’s First DOGE Agents Arrive
In DC
Posted By: Imright, 1/12/2025 6:51:52 PM
Elon Musk's ambitious push to reshape America's financial landscape took a bold step forward this week. His first "DOGE Agents" arrived in Washington, D.C., with a clear target: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These agents are aiming squarely at the agency's grip on taxation and regulation of digital currencies. As Americans watch closely, many see this as a much-needed pushback against bureaucratic overreach. In contrast, others warn that Musk’s growing influence could open the door for unchecked corporate power over public policy.

President Trump’s trolling of Canada continues to trigger all of the right people including outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Now, one can add another highly influential leftist and potential Canadian Prime minister to the list.
Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the radical-left New Democratic Party (NDP) and candidate for Prime Minister, is still hopping mad over Trump’s trolling posted a deranged message to Trump on Sunday afternoon on his X account.
“I have a message for Donald Trump,” Singh began. “Our country’s not for sale.
“Not now. Not ever.”

'homework' as GOP plots massive conservative

President-elect Donald Trump is giving Republicans his blessing to negotiate on a key tax that could prove critical to the GOP’s negotiations for a massive conservative policy overhaul next year.
Trump met with several different groups of House Republicans at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, including blue state GOP lawmakers who make up the House SALT Caucus – a group opposed to the current $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions that primarily affect urban and suburban residents in areas with high income and property taxes, such as New York, New Jersey, and California.
"I think it was productive and successful," Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., said of the meeting.

New York Judge Juan Merchan made a big show last Friday of holding a sentencing hearing before President-elect Trump has his inauguration on Jan. 20, as RedState's Susie Moore shared. Twitchy's Sam Janney wrote earlier on Sunday at our Townhall Media sister publication about part of Trump FBI director nominee, Kash Patel's reaction, when asked about Merchan's sentencing of Trump in the Manhattan business records fraud case--which many have long seen as blatant lawfare against a political opponent of the leftists/Democrat Party apparatus.
Janney, referring to Patel, averred:

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President-elect Donald Trump was politicizing wildfires in Southern California.
Reporter Jacob Soboroff asked, “President-elect Trump has blamed you for this crisis. He’s called you incompetent. What’s your response?”Newsom said, “Well, I called for him to come out, take a look for himself. We want to do it in the spirit of an open hand, not a closed fist. He’s the president-elect. I respect the office. We have a president of the United States that within 36 hours provided a major disaster declaration over a text.

The tiny Delta Smelt fish have not been seen in the wild in California in over a decade.
And yet, California Democrats flushed annual water flow into the ocean to save this little fish that they can’t even find in its natural habitat.
Now several cities are burnt to the ground.
They sacrificed entire communities for a fish that doesn’t exist. (Snip) For the seventh September in a row, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has caught zero Delta smelt during its Fall Midwater Trawl Survey of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
The last time Delta smelt – an indicator species for the broader ecological health estuary – were found
Foreign leaders desperately jockeying

for invite to Trump’s inauguration:
‘They’re all going crazy’ 9 replies
A parade of foreign leaders is desperately angling to receive a coveted invite to President-elect Trump’s inauguration later this month.
By custom, foreign leaders don’t attend inaugurations of U.S. presidents, but Trump has thrown that precedent out the window, setting off the scramble after inviting Chinese president Xi Jinping to the Jan. 20 ceremony. Xi has already turned the offer down, with a top emissary expected to attend instead.
But many others are burning up the phone lines to their agents in Washington D.C. — demanding access, sources told The Post.
(Photos) “They’re all going crazy. Chile, Peru, Nigeria, Mozambique,” said one registered foreign agent, who added the leaders “were champing
The Bible and the Schools

Irony of ironies. There was an attempt to ban the Bible from school libraries in a conservative state because of a law against risqué content in school books. The Mirror out of the UK reports: “A Texas school district has reportedly been forced to remove copies of the Bible after a new state law banned books that were ‘sexually explicit.’ It was revealed in an email from Canyon Independent School District Superintendent Darryl Flusche, that the holy book had been deemed unsuitable due to ‘sexually explicit material.’"
It clearly appears that school officials are trying to play “gotcha” with opponents of sexually explicit schoolbooks.
Her community was devastated, and she would not let him walk away from the devastation. The viral clip of the California woman confronting Gov. Gavin Newsom, demanding he explain his plan to combat the Los Angeles County fires that continue to rage, has gone viral. What’s he going to do now? Newsom was rattled by the interaction, claiming he was trying to speak with the president. When the woman demanded he put the call on speakerphone, he declined, saying he didn’t have service. He wasn’t speaking with the president. We all know this, and this woman was rightfully irritated that there was no water to combat the flames.
Liberal talk host Bill Maher appeared on CNN this weekend and told Jake Tapper that he doesn’t think history will be kind to Joe Biden.
Maher’s criticism stems mainly from Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term before ultimately bowing out. Maher compares Biden to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was hailed as a hero by the left until she died during Trump’s first term, giving him the opportunity to name her replacement.
While Maher is likely right about Joe Biden and history, his criticism is solely about what Biden has done to the Democrat party. Biden will not be treated kindly by history for
A glance across America and Europe leads to an unmistakable conclusion: Revolution is in the air.
The failures of democracies are sparking internal upheavals.
Thankfully, spasms of violence and bloodshed are few, but a toxic brew of overbearing governments, shrinking freedoms and undeniable decline is producing demands for big changes.
A common thread from California to Great Britain, France and Germany is that liberal underpinnings have morphed into sloppy socialism, unchecked immigration, cultural clashes and restraints on critical speech.
Collectively, the conservative blowback reveals that the time allotted for an indulgent detour has expired and a new consensus is taking shape, whether entrenched leftists like it or not.
As the southern California wildfires continued to rage, victims of the sprawling tragedy tried to pick up the pieces of lives not just shattered, but reduced to ash.
On Saturday, The Post’s Katherine Donlevy, Dana Kennedy and Chris Harris spoke with six people who lost everything — except their will to endure.
Joshua Kotler, 39, an occupational therapist and his wife Emily, 39, lost their family home in Altadena, where they lived with their two daughters, Liberty, 4, and Eve, 2.

Comedians and Act Your Age co-stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley are standing behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass amid the wildfire crisis, and they believe the harsh criticism she's receiving is race related.
'Let me tell you something, she's got a spine of steel,' Yvette told TMZ outside a grocery store on Saturday.
'And she's also been a Black woman in America for a long time, so none of this is new to her. We are mad, because we're tired of it.'

Outrage is exploding over a push by numerous Democrats to get people to donate to wildfire "relief funds" facilitated through ActBlue, the party's scandal-ridden fundraising apparatus.
As RedState reported on Saturday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom made the ill-advised move to go on "Pod Save America," a far-left show run by former Barack Obama staffers, while large parts of Los Angeles County still burned. His attempt to pass the buck and paint himself as an innocent bystander amid a laundry list of government failures was bad enough, but then came the plea for donations.
It's no secret that Steve Bannon, once a top aide to Donald Trump, isn't a fan of the president-elect's newest buddy Elon Musk.
But Bannon took his criticism even further last week, telling an Italian newspaper that he will take the billionaire down before Trump's Inauguration day this month.
The comments were basically a declaration of war against the Tesla, SpaceX and X boss who has strategically placed himself within the innermost circle of the incoming president and the latest in Bannon's attacks on him.
'I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,'
At this point, if Iran test detonates a nuke before Jan 20, I would put good money on someone in the Biden administration having Fed-Exed them the parts.[SNIP] The Biden administration in its final days is shifting more than $100 million in military aid from Israel and Egypt to Lebanon as it tries to bolster a ceasefire agreement it helped mediate between Israel and Hezbollah.
In separate notices sent to Congress, the State Department said it was moving $95 million in military assistance intended for Egypt and $7.5 million for Israel toward supporting the Lebanese army and its government.
Trump will be inaugurated as the nation’s 47th president on January 20, and reports indicate that he plans to arrive at the Oval Office armed with over 100 executive orders dealing with border and energy security. He met with Republican senators Wednesday and talked about his plans, and some of the participants are revealing what he said.
During a Thursday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends" Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said that Trump indicated that there are almost 100 executive orders to address issues like border security and U.S. energy.
"He threw that out — 100 — there could be like 100 EOs, yeah. I believe him,"
Like everyone I am horrified by the devastation in Los Angeles. The scale is beyond imagining, and the incompetence of city and state government so blatant, they will all need close security for the rest of their lives. Of course people are pointing to the Olympics in ‘28, and the inclusion of Los Angeles in the Smart Cities transition which basically means monitoring your very outbreath. Easier to do with fewer residents. Just build thirty-thousand high-rises, and house the cattle to be monitored and monetized.
A DEI Green New Deal Hydrogen Bomb

That’s how Victor David Hanson describes this week’s catastrophic wildfires in California.
“It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it's something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb… Gavin Newsom was fiddling, he's almost Nero Newsom. And this has been something that is just unimaginable… The systems breakdown. And to finish, what we're seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th century pastoral

Former Vice President Mike Pence revealed that he congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his win in the presidential election during former President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr.’s funeral.
In an interview with Christianity Today, Pence revealed that Trump “greeted” Pence as he was coming down the aisle, and Pence congratulated him on his win against Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. Carter passed away at the age of 100 at the end of December.
“He greeted me when he came down the aisle,” Pence told the outlet. “I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand. I said, ‘Congratulations, Mr. President,’ and he said, ‘Thanks, Mike.'”
The insurance industry in California was already reeling from a combination of natural disasters and the political disaster known as the Democratic Party in California.
As for the former, the combination of too few controlled burns, drier-than-normal weather, and idiotic zoning regulations pushing people into fire-prone areas all contributed to a situation that only needed someone to light a match. And someone did.
The sheer idiocy of California Democratic Party officials preferring to embrace environmental posturing
