Lawfare 2.0: A New York judge launches
a coup

During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to use Elon Musk to improve government efficiency, partly by ending the incredible graft and corruption permeating the bureaucracy. Since Trump’s inauguration, Musk and his youthful four-man crew, using the power of AI, have identified a host of fundamental problems in the Treasury Dept. As Musk explained: (X) To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose 14-year sentence for political corruption charges he commuted during his first term.
The Republican president called the Democratic former governor, who once appeared on Trump’s reality TV show “Celebrity Apprentice,” “a very fine person” and said the conviction and prison sentence “shouldn’t have happened.”
“I’ve watched him. He was set up by a lot of bad people, some of the same people I had to deal with,” Trump said at the White House as he signed the pardon.
Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 on charges that included seeking to sell an appointment to then-President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat
Trump Administration Fights Judicial Tyranny

I wrote here about the absurd order issued by a Democratic Party judge that purports to bar the Secretary of the Treasury, along with many others, from accessing the Treasury Department’s data. The judge who issued that ex parte order–that means he issued it without even waiting to hear from the government–was Paul Engelmayer. Engelmayer sits in the Southern District of New York, a venue that has no apparent connection to the Treasury Department’s operations.
The Trump administration has now moved urgently to correct Engelmayer’s error. The linked document is a Memorandum in support of a Motion to Dissolve, Clarify or Modify Engelmayer’s improvidently granted temporary restraining order.

Sure, if you're the Vatican, or more specifically, the Vatican's big umbrella NGO of NGOs known as Caritas, whose U.S. arms include Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services.
According to the Associated Press:
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions, while Pope Francis’ point man on development urged the Trump administration to remember Christian principles about caring for others.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development.
The federal judge who suggested Trump administration officials could face criminal contempt over the spending freeze on Monday is a Democrat donor.
John J. McConnell, Jr., chief judge of the U.S. district court in Rhode Island, ordered the Trump administration to “immediately restore frozen funding” after determining officials violated his prior restraining order and suggesting further opposition could result in criminal charges.
McConnell cited a 1975 case that states, “Persons who make private determinations of the law and refuse to obey an order generally risk criminal contempt even if the order is ultimately ruled incorrect.”
While he was in private practice as an attorney until 2009, McConnell donated hundreds of thousands
The media’s demonization of a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team has backfired with the attention to his skills instead landing the young man a new job at the State Department.
With the corrupt Democrats desperate to prevent their money laundering rackets through agencies like USAID from being uncovered, there is an all-out propaganda war on the Tesla/SpaceX CEO which includes the young geniuses tapped by Musk to audit the federal government who have been doxed and exposed to threats from the media hit squad.
One of them is Edward Coristine whose nickname “Big Balls” has been an obsession with CNN and other outlets,
A former executive inside the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) warns of corruption in the agency that is currently being reviewed and purged by the Trump administration, alleging that among politicians, it is mostly Democrats who benefited from its funding.
Mark Moyar, former director of the Office of Civilian-Military Cooperation at USAID in the first Trump administration, explains the corruption he saw within the agency and the lack of transparency, as he looks forward to its reduction. He also claims that Democrats have benefited more from the agency’s funding than Republicans, based on his own personal experience.
During the first few weeks of the second Trump administration,
President Trump rolled back into the DC Swamp like a BOSS on a mission. Sure, in 2016, he took DC by storm—but not like this. This time around, it’s different. Everyone sees it and feels it, too. Even some experts, like Mark Halperin, who are left speechless watching Trump steamroll not just the fake news media, but the entire Dem Party.
Mark says he’s never seen anything like this. Once again, President Trump is changing the game. He’s a man who has learned from the past—and now, he knows exactly how to play these bad guys like a fiddle. (Snip) But the shock and awe doesn’t stop there.
CNN's Sciutto Tees Up Palestinian To Accuse

Trump Of Ethnic Cleansing, Israel of Genocide 12 replies
CNN's Jim Sciutto, sitting in for Kasie Hunt on CNN This Morning, teed up a Palestinian to repeatedly accuse Trump of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, and Israel of "genocide."
Words that never passed the ex-Obama diplomat's lips: October 7th, Hamas, or hostages. Instead, Sciutto created a free-fire zone for the Palestinian to attack Trump and Israel.
Much of what you need to know about the Palestinian in question, Yawa Hawari, co-director of the Palestinian think tank Al-Shabaka, can be gleaned from these words in a recent article she wrote [emphasis added]:
USAID is a rabbit hole subsidizing everything from Islamic terrorists to leftist activist groups.
Freezing the outlay has sent them scurrying and demanding more money or everyone will die.
Nonprofits sue Trump administration for freezing foreign aid: The groups said the freeze violates Congress’ wishes and is endangering lives in developing countries. – Politico
A liberal-leaning advocacy group filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Monday seeking to halt the freeze on foreign aid the administration has imposed.
The group, Public Citizen, argues the freeze on funds appropriated by Congress is unlawful and is endangering lives abroad.

Here in the year of our Lord 2025, it is virtually impossible to be too absurd when mocking the American Left. Yes, it has been that way for a while, but it really went off the deep end when the lefties had to pretend that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had brains. That kind of forced delusion will break anybody.
This is particularly rough on me. Ever since I first stepped on a stage to tell a joke almost 43 years ago, absurdism has been the favored weapon in my comedic arsenal with which to lampoon anyone or anything. For most of my career it wasn't difficult for me
Former Democratic donor-tuned-MAGA supporter Lindy Li dropped more details about Joe Biden and her former party’s shenanigans during the 2024 election. Li has been eager to spill all the things about the delusions that engulfed the Democrats, to the point where some thought they could win Iowa. Over $2 billion was raised and blown on Kamala Harris’ shambolic campaign for the White House. After some expenditures were made public, some megadonors warned they’d never write a check again.
Ms. Li said that after Joe Biden’s disastrous CNN debate that June, Hunter Biden commandeered the White House and sat in on sensitive meetings without a security clearance.
Did you notice something in the last week? Our liberal friends perked up and found themselves a new enemy. Previously, every card-carrying liberal knew that Donald Trump was the enemy. But that was before the midnight raid on USAID under Commando Bro Musk. How dare, how dare Elon Musk send his racist sexist tech kids to bomb the sacred groves of USAID!
I have to admit: I had no idea about USAID. It took Musk and his tech kids to wake me up to the fact that USAID is a slush fund -- the slush fund -- for our educated ruling class. And all the best people have served their

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to restore the gender ideology webpages it deleted.
US District Judge John Bates of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a George W. Bush appointee, ordered Trump to restore the pages by midnight tonight.
Last month, President Trump scrubbed public health websites of all things related to “gender ideology.”

NASA is training humanity’s most powerful telescope on a “city-killing” asteroid to determine whether or not we need to brace for deep impact.
Dubbed 2024 YR4, the building-sized space rock reportedly has a 1-in-43 chance of slamming into Earth in 2032 — up from about 1%, the Independent reported.
The asteroid was discovered by NASA in December and is reportedly at the top of NASA’s watch list when it comes to hazards from beyond.

Chelsea Clinton claims that 'misinformation' has been weaponized against her after claims she was gifted $84million from the under fire United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have attempted to shut down the embattled government agency tasked with humanitarian relief overseas after they agreed the organization was 'beyond repair' and wasting billions. The billionaire 'first buddy' led a civilian review of the federal government with Trump's go-ahead and decided this week to shut down the agency.
For decades, car-making has been the jewel in Germany's industrial crown, a powerful symbol of the country's famous post-war economic miracle. Its "Big Three" brands, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, have long been praised for their performance, innovation and precision engineering. But today, the German motor industry is struggling. How can it get back on the road to recovery? When you arrive by train in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, the first thing you see is the Volkswagen factory. Its huge facade, emblazoned with a giant VW logo and flanked by four tall chimneys, dominates one bank of the canal that runs through the city.
A group is planning a nationwide economic blackout as a response to the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives sparked by the federal government. Why It Matters When President Donald Trump reentered office last month, one of his first calls to action was to end several of the DEI initiatives in the federal government. He mandated in an executive order that funds could be frozen for companies that do not comply. He also outlawed any messaging that promotes inclusion-based language. The orders have caused PBS to close its DEI office, while major companies like Amazon, Target and Google
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., faced widespread mockery after launching a tipline to "expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety." On Monday, Schumer shared a link calling on "whistleblowers" to report violations, arguing they "are a vital part of Congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable." The categories whistleblowers can report include "retaliation," "wasteful spending," "fraud," "criminal activity," and "other."
"Today, I’m calling on our brave public servants," the Senate Minority Leader wrote as he shared the tipline form on X.
We've been seeing a pretty amazing move to make over the government over the last three weeks since President Donald Trump has taken office.[Snip] Now, there's a follow-up action in Congress with the House Oversight Committee naming Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to head the new "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — State leaders gathered Tuesday afternoon to push for an assault weapons ban in Rhode Island.
Gun violence advocates highlighted tragedies like Parkland and Sandy Hook in their push for the ban.
Governor Dan McKee said he was trying to push it through as part of the state budget this time, even as legislators bring it up the traditional way again in the General Assembly.
“We were all elected to govern, and the number one job of elected officials in the United States of America is to provide for public safety,” Rep. Jason Knight (D-Dist. 67 Barrington, Warren) said.

President Donald Trump is waging war against former President Joe Biden’s green energy regulations on Americans’ household appliances.
Trump made the announcement in a social media post at 5:57 a.m. on Tuesday and said he was instructing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Secretary Lee Zeldin to oversee the matter, Fox News reported. The president wrote in his post:
I am hereby instructing Secretary Lee Zeldin to immediately go back to my Environmental Orders, which were terminated by Crooked Joe Biden, on Water Standards and Flow pertaining to SINKS, SHOWERS, TOILETS, WASHING MACHINES, DISHWASHERS, etc., and to likewise go back to the common sense standards on LIGHTBULBS,
It’s a Croc block!
