Who among us wouldn’t like that kind of criticism/encouragement?! The media has really bitten off more than they can chew with trying to trick these two men into disliking each other. Elon says he loves this president. Yes. I do too!

In the same vein as this reporting Trump's "criticism" of Musk, friends of mine just expressed their doubt in God by having their newborn daughter baptized today.

If this is criticism, it's pretty thin gruel. DOGE's work is critical to unwinding the Deep State and trying to restore fiscal balance to the Country. Once DOGE has made a reasonably complete pass through the government, most of the waste and fraud will be choked off and Trump will have a better idea how much savings he will have to work with. Unfortunately, we won't have a complete picture of where all the money went and who got it because the endpoint recipient can be several steps past where the treasury checks were cashed. This, of course, was the intent, to obfuscate who is getting the graft. I wouldn't be surprising to find that money was collected from several endpoints, aggregated, and then used to pay someone, a "Big Guy" perhaps, off. What we can be sure of is that enormous amounts were drained from taxpayers to pay for absurd "purposes" that were never designated as official recipients. MUCH tighter controls are needed and a report from recipients as to WHO they paid out to using federal largesse. I am sure both Trump and Musk are very eager to build a picture as to how this all worked, get spending under tight control, and root out thieves and accomplices. I suspect that the process will be ongoing for at least a couple years. THEN, a modern, secure, universal across government, easily and regularly auditable, and transparent system should be in place. THIS ALONE would be an historic accomplishment by Trump and Musk and I suspect there will be MUCH more coming out of this partnership. Technology across government is often grossly outdated, like keeping paper records in mine shafts and hand processing them. This is INSANE. Some of the saving Musk finds should be targeted to a massive government technology upgrade; which in itself will create MORE saving through efficiency. The savings should keep getting plowed into technology updates, which is a never ending job, but always yields MORE capability and savings. The American People are owed a government that works well and can provide fast and accurate service to them. Plus, such systems can be monitored and reviewed to keep them honest.

Trump is just making it clear to the press that Elon is doing as he was told, and not going rogue.

Why SCOTUS Needs To Reevaluate The Problem
It Created In Obergefell

In late January, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a memorandum calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to “reverse” its 2015 gay marriage decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, “and restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.” The memo passed 46 to 24 in the House and is heading to the Idaho Senate. If it passes the senate, it will be sent on to the Supreme Court as one more formal encouragement that it take up a case that might overturn Obergefell.[Snip] Back in 2020, sitting justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito argued that the Obergefell decision should be overturned — or at least fixed.

Judge Anthony J. Trenga, an appointee of George W.

This ruling comes after a group of anonymous intelligence officers, who had been temporarily reassigned to roles implementing controversial Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs, have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA.

Jennifer Sey, who is a former U.S. gymnastics champion, says the NCAA’s new policy claims to comply with Trump’s order, yet leaves itself two loopholes through which men who identify as women may continue to participate as student athletes in women’s sports.

As the Department of Government Efficiency continues its work, Democrats’ rhetoric is becoming more radical. On Wednesday, Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia spoke with CNN’s Brianna Keilar about DOGE Chairman Elon Musk, as Garcia had called Musk a “d***” in a hearing earlier that day. In his explanation to Keilar, Garcia called for using “actual weapons” against DOGE and Musk. Now, Republican Rep Nancy Mace is calling for his censure. “What I think is really important, and what the American public want, is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight,” he explained regarding Musk.
The Bidenomics Atrocity: 7 Migrant Jobs

The results are in: The Democratic Party’s Bidenomics strategy produced a disastrous score of just 160,000 extra jobs for Americans during each year of President Joe Biden’s presidency. President Joe Biden’s dismal Bidenomics also created jobs for 4.7 million migrants — including almost three million illegals, according to federal data collected by the Center for Immigration Studies and reported on February 7. So Bidenomics created 7.3 migrant jobs for every job gained by an American, even as it also exploded the national debt by $8 trillion.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, is facing backlash for introducing a budget recommendation that changes the word "mother" to "inseminated person," and "paternity" to "parentage" in certain parts of state law. The Evers administration's budget recommendation for the 2025-2027 fiscal period advises several other gendered terms be changed, as well. References to "wife" or "husband" are changed to "spouse" in the proposal. In other places, the word "father" is changed to "parent," and "mother" is swapped out for the phrase "parent who gave birth to the child.”

A majority of Americans agree with President Donald Trump’s embrace of biological truth in recognizing only two biological sexes — but most Democrats do not — a Quinnipiac survey found. The survey — gauging sentiments on many of Trump’s early moves — asked respondents, “Do you support or oppose President Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female, in the United States?” Most, 57 percent, support it, compared to 38 percent who oppose it. There are varying opinions on party lines, as over three-fourths of Democrats — 77 percent, oppose the executive order recognizing biological truth. Only 14 percent of Democrats support the order.

New York City filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Friday to recoup $80.5 million of congressionally approved migrant funding the feds quietly seized from the city’s coffers last week. The city’s Law Department blasted President Trump for conducting an “unlawful money grab” that snatched Federal Emergency Management Agency payments without any advance notice, according to the suit filed in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York. The payments were dispersed to help pay back local governments, including New York City, for shouldering the massive cost of the migrant crisis.

And that’s not a stretch. Delta Airlines has made no secret of going all-in on their DEI agenda—a move that just so happens to coincide with a sharp decline in consumer confidence with the airline industry.
