Say, has Sheldon Whitesonlyclub -- er, Whitehouse -- figured out what 'boof' actually means yet? Or is he still deep in his investigation into Brett Kavanaugh's high-school yearbooks to find out? Maybe we should ask Mark Judge ... In the meantime, a watchdog group has a few questions for the senator from Rhode Island. The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) has discovered that his wife Sandra Whitesonlyclub -- er, Whitehouse -- has had an interesting income stream while the Boof Truther has served in the Senate.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Lerzweinel was never comfortable with the clogging demands made on him during the annual "Pomegranates and Fedoras" festival.
There are a lot of recurring themes here in the early, whirlwind days of President Trump's second term. One of them is that the Democrats are more pathetic than most people after an election loss.
American presidential politics don't see a lot of one-party winning streaks. Franklin D. Roosevelt was an anomaly, and we've shored up the rules since then. Anyway, a regular voter will get used to not having his or her candidate win.
A senior Hamas official told the New York Times last week that he would not have supported the October 7, 2023, terror attack against Israel if he had known the outcome — the destruction of Hamas and the devastation of Gaza.
The Times reported Monday:
Mousa Abu Marzouk, the Qatar-based head of Hamas’s foreign relations office, said in an interview with The New York Times that he would not have supported the attack if he had known of the havoc it would wreak on Gaza. Knowing of the consequences, he said, would have made it “impossible” for him to back the assault
MSNBC’s new president continued to overhaul the embattled network Monday — canceling shows hosted by anchors left-wing anchors Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart, The Post has learned.
The bloodbath follows the ouster of rabid anti-Trump anchor Joy Reid after reports surfaced Sunday that the Comcast-owned network is canceling her show, “The ReidOut.”
On Monday, The Guardian reported that Mohyeldin will be canned after 14 years at the network. His show “Ayman Mohyeldin Reports,” which airs on the weekends at 7 p.m., will broadcast its final episode on April 20, according to the UK paper.
Meanwhile, an NBC insider told The Post that staff working for Capehart and Phang

'Tens of thousands demonstrate against AfD after stabbings in Solingen'
Gotta love the commitment of the diversity lemmings. Even as they're on the ground punctured by multiple stab wounds, they'll be fretting that the amount of their blood all over the sidewalk risks provoking even more 'Islamophobia' from the 'far right'.
So yes, the AfD had a good night, coming second and doubling their share of the vote to a smidgeonette under twenty-one per cent. But the remaining seventy-nine per cent voted to keep stabbing themselves for the next four years.
Vice President JD Vance is stepping in to help his 12-year-old relative who needs a heart transplant but was denied the lifesaving operation in Ohio because she’s not vaccinated against COVID-19 or the flu, according to a report.
Adaline Deal — who was born in China and adopted when she was four — was diagnosed at birth with two rare heart conditions, Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.

Unfixable cars? Enough already!

I am old enough to have owned a half-dozen cars or trucks with no computers, including a 1941 Ford coup, a 1956 Chevrolet two-door sedan, and a 1966 Chevrolet Malibu. Fixing these vehicles to make them run correctly took some rudimentary skills and a Motors Manual. The electrical system comprised wires, fuses, and a fuse box. The fuel system was simple as well. Diagnosing the problems was simple, and I could fix it all myself. Even the carburetor was not that hard to rebuild.

The Department of Education (DOE) has shifted all future spending related to the $4.4 billion in remaining COVID-19 school relief funds to a reimbursement structure after identifying massive waste, fraud, and abuse — including hundreds of thousands spent to rent out an MLB stadium and tens of thousands spent on casino hotel rooms.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) stated on Wednesday that schools have already spent nearly $200 billion of the relief funds under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act with “little oversight or impact on students”:

in Mozambique, Saves Taxpayers $10 Million 13 replies
Not to be insensitive, but oh, the humanity!
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently announced that it has put the kibosh on close to a billion U.S. tax dollars from funding outlandish overseas programs, including $10 million to “voluntary medical male circumcisions” in Mozambique.
U.S. taxpayers paying for circumcisions in Mozambique. Who knew?
In a Saturday post to X (formerly Twitter) DOGE announced a total of $729 million in savings, listing multiple ridiculous initiatives being funded by U.S. taxpayers with zero knowledge of where the money was going (emphasis, mine).
Roiling controversy has surrounded President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping changes at the US Agency for International Development, or USAID. The agency does supply humanitarian aid, yet it seems a portion of its budget goes to dubious propaganda campaigns worldwide. Little attention has been paid to the agency’s involvement with the CIA, particularly in creating the infamous 1974 Kissinger Report, which advocated for population control to further US “national security interests” in developing countries.
Those of us of a certain age remember the Yugo. It was a typically Eastern European automobile of the '80s and '90s, small, cheap, and bearing a questionable reputation for safety and reliability. They were sold here in the United States from 1985 to 1992, with a total of a bit over 140,000 sold. Few seem to survive today, but then, the American auto companies in these years were still recovering from the late '70s to early '80s quality slump themselves. In the States the Yugo picked up a pretty bad reputation;

While a Florida sheriff touted his department’s efforts to crack down on illegal aliens, efforts at interfering with ICE continued with a North Carolina woman confronting officials.
After advancing President Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations as a priority in the state legislature, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill last week to empower state and local law enforcement to aid with federal efforts. Speaking with Fox News Digital, St. Johns County Sheriff Robert Hardwick explained how that work was underway to “take the tip of the spear and go to a different level.”

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Monday on “The Rachel Maddow Show” that her network made a “bad mistake” firing host Joy Reid.
Maddow said, “Joy Reid’s show, the ReidOut ended tonight, and Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether and that is very, very, very hard to take. I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12 and I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Some believe the Democratic Party’s next savior is living here, huddled with family, in the relative obscurity of a small city on the shores of Lake Michigan. Pete Buttigieg has yet to decide if that’s a responsibility he wants. For now, Buttigieg, the 43-year-old former U.S. transportation secretary, is discussing his future with party officials, labor leaders and top strategists. He must decide soon whether he wants to return to the national spotlight as a candidate in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race or step aside to instead seek a much bigger role as his party’s next presidential
Washington—More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”
“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”
The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by Musk to help him slash the size of the federal government under President Donald Trump’s administration were political ideologues who
DOGE chief Elon Musk teased Monday that federal workers may receive a second email asking them to list their weekly accomplishments – and that failure to respond to it will result in “termination.”
The Tesla and SpaceX founder’s warning came hours after the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) notified human resource bosses across multiple agencies that responses to emails sent Saturday –demanding a list of five bullet points detailing what federal workers achieved in the previous five working days — were “voluntary” and that failure to respond would not be taken as a resignation, as Musk had claimed. (Photo) “The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard
DOGE workers are revolting against Elon Musk and Donald Trump by signing a dramatic resignation letter vowing not to defund 'public services.' 'We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,' 21 former DOGE staffers wrote in a letter first reported on by AP. These ex-DOGE workers, who are not part of Musk's personally hired nerd army, said that they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services' being slashed.
RIP, Joy Reid

Thus passes the glory of America’s vaunted voice of cable news moderation. Soon-to-be former MSNBC host Joy Reid, otherwise known as Joy Anne Weave, broke down on a Zoom call Monday after her show, “The ReidOut,” was canceled by the struggling liberal network. In one of her final tear-soaked diatribes, before her show is officially dead and gone, she congratulated herself on her steadfast bravery and pretended as if her abysmal ratings did not exist.
A data scientist with ties to DOGE chief Elon Musk declared Monday that she believes “over $100 billion” in taxpayer dollars are being wasted or stolen by federal employees at government agencies.
The tech expert is using artificial intelligence to expose cases of government waste, fraud and abuse and goes by “DataRepublican” on X, where her posts are regularly shared by billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder.
“Whew,” the woman, who is deaf, said through an interpreter when asked by NewsNation’s Brian Entin about how much federal cash she believes is being wasted or stolen based on her efforts poring over public databases.
In an angry letter addressed last week to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, disgraced Fulton County DA Fani Willis wailed about the congressional committee purportedly "bully[ing]" her by investigating the affairs of her office. She suggested that he should be celebrating Black History Month instead.
"Rather than honor and uphold the oath you took, you have chosen to expend your time attempting to bully me, which is a complete waste of your time," Willis wrote, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by The New York Times. "Might I suggest that instead of attempting to disrupt this office's work protecting the people of Fulton County,
The White House announced Tuesday it would “give the power back to the people,” but the establishment media want it back.
Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich took to social media Tuesday to protest a White House announcement that the White House would open up access to the press pool covering President Donald Trump and his administration.“For decades, a group of DC-based journalists, the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA), has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United States in these most intimate spaces,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday. “Not anymore.”
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday and called on lawmakers not to give President Donald Trump their authority.
Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “Certainly there’s a lot of debate among Democrats right now as to who is that face, who is the leader for the party right now? Who’s going to play the role that Nancy Pelosi did during those first couple of years of Trump’s initial term in office? So now let’s take a look at more from Ryan Noble’s interview with Senator Murkowski, who warned her Republican colleagues not to cede their authority to President Trump.”

Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), an ethics watchdog, is asking for an investigation into a Democrat senator.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, is being accused of violating ethics rules after reportedly backing legislation that helped enrich his own wife. FACT is asking the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to look into whether Sandra Whitehouse’s environmental organization financially benefitted from her husband’s political positions, and “whether he violated the Senate ethics rules on conflicts of interest.”
Mrs. Whitehouse has worked for consulting firm Ocean Wonks LLC as the president since 2017, prior to which she was a Senior Policy Adviser at Ocean Conservancy starting in 2008.
