Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he believes the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is a “criminal organization” that should “die.” “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die,” Musk posted to the social platform X, which he owns. Musk was responding to the news that senior officials at USAID physically attempted to block people from Musk’s new advisory board, the “Department of Government Efficiency,” from having access to secure systems, NBC News reported. The Trump administration is making USAID a target in its wide-ranging changes to the federal government.

Any government sponsored organization that involves free cash being given away eventually turns into a corrupt money-laundering operation. Any and all. Despots across the world are dressing in nice suits, employing hookers, eating in fine restaurants and riding in limos at US taxpayer expense.

Prima facia case that it was criminal is the involvement of Mrs. Cass Sunstein.

USAID has been working against the people of the USA since it was created in the 1960s. It’s a front for the worst elements of the Deep State and its private bank. It absolutely is corrupt to the core and needs to go.

USAID also did a lot of good. The top may be corrupt but the employees who spent 2 years in war torn areas and other cesspools were doing it because they were helping people.

It is outstanding Musk taking over Personnel, Checkwriting, and US Aid. It is the most fantastic thing that could have happened.

For thousands of years, going back to the Bible, women have wept and grieved and pleaded to God over their miscarriages. Indeed, it took all these millennia for modern-day pharmaceutical companies to develop solutions to this ongoing nightmare. In the 1940s, they were happy to offer doctors the ability to prescribe diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent miscarriage. “You can tell them you would give it to your wife,” the marketing mavens from Big Pharma suggested to physicians. And with good reason.

We all remember how, in the fall of 2020, the Biden campaign scrambled to discredit the New York Post’s bombshell report on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” Just days before a crucial debate, they enlisted 51 former intelligence officials to sign a letter suggesting the laptop was Russian disinformation—giving Biden the perfect excuse to dismiss the story when Trump confronted him. That letter also handed Big Tech the justification to censor the story across social media, making it one of the most brazen examples of election interference in U.S. history.

Leo the Lion, a MAGA America First voter, has started a new group to purge the Republican Party of sellout RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) in office. The RINO Removal Project (RRP), subtitled “RINOs Become the Politically Hunted,” is targeting some of the most detested sellouts in Congress. Leo told me, “With Republicans now controlling the Presidency, the House, and Congress, this new movement has emerged as the driving force behind an explosive attempt to finally rid the government of one of America’s greatest threats: RINOs.”

As we survey the shattered, smoldering ruins of leftists’ dreams in the wake of Donald J Trump’s campaign of annihilation, it’s understandable if we pause for just a moment to appreciate exactly what has happened. We’ve talked and dreamed about this scenario for years, but now it’s happening right in front of our eyes. It’s beautiful, man. It’s like the jungle exploding in a fireball in “Apocalypse Now.” We love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory. No mercy, no quarter, no hesitation.

President Trump’s long-promised ICE raids continued on Thursday — as the total number of illegal migrants nabbed by federal authorities reached 538, including new arrests of pedophiles, gang members, and a suspected terrorist in New York. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are currently scouring cities and states trying to round up illegal aliens who are either wanted for crimes in their home country or who have committed crimes during their time in the US. A source told The Post that many of the migrants rounded up by agents were convicted in “some very heinous cases.”

Of course, the big news comes with possibly an even bigger caveat: according to the WSJ’s source, bird flu might be exempt from the temporary ban, which would beg the question: why? If the gain-of-function pause should apply to anything, it should be to the virus that the public health authorities have promised over and over and over would be the trigger for pandemic 2.0. This is not a permanent ban, and ostensibly it does not apply to private-sector actors. But let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth.

Democrat lawmakers in Washington, D.C., pushed back against the GOP-led Protection of Women and Girls in Sports act last week with unsubstantiated arguments that the law would enable sexual predators to give genital examinations to young girls. This argument was not rooted in any language within the bill, as Republicans insisted that no genital inspection would ever be necessary and that proof of birth gender could simply be determined with a birth certificate.

AOC's comments were part of a 90-minute-long conversation with fans on Instagram.

The reconstruction of USAID from an independent terrorist and international leftist funding entity to a subsidiary of the State Department has Democrats involved in the foreign policy apparatus freaking out and desperately trying to get Americans to care. Here’s Sen. Chris Coons, former ‘bearded Marxist’, taking his best shot at it in the paper of big government. Trump’s attack on USAID is an assault on Americans’ safety – Washington Post. Coons claims that “USAID’s programs, like all our foreign assistance, play a central role in combating extremism, promoting stability and protecting our homeland.”

The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News. President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal agency without the approval of Congress. The planned order follows years of campaign promises from Trump to abolish the federal Education Department, which was established in 1979, during President Jimmy Carter's administration. In September 2023, the then-candidate posted a video to social media saying, “One other thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.”

Two employees of the authority that manages Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were arrested over their alleged involvement in leaking surveillance footage of last week’s deadly midair aircraft collision to CNN. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) staffers are accused of making an unauthorized copy of records and are facing charges of computer trespass, the agency said Monday. The legal trouble is tied to the chilling video obtained by CNN last week that offered a horrifying new vantage point in the crash over the Potomac River, ABC News reported.

The next time Hillary Clinton or her media allies wag a finger about “Russian interference,” remember this: Hillary Clinton’s State Department helped arm Russia with hypersonic missile technology. Yes, the same Hillary Clinton who branded Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset”. The same Hillary Clinton who pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax for years. The same Hillary Clinton who expects America to believe that Moscow is an existential threat. Her tenure at the State Department actively facilitated, promoted, and encouraged the transfer of dual-use technology that helped build Russia’s next-generation hypersonic missile systems. U.S. officials later sounded the alarm about Skolkovo’s military applications, but the damage was done by then. As Clinton’s State Department
