DOGE Cancels Lease for Obama Presidential Library

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 3/6/2025 4:58:59 PM

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has cancelled the lease for the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, according to reports. DOGE included the library, which is currently in Chicago’s Hoffman Estates, in its extensive list of federal lease terminations. However, the library was already scheduled to closed and move to a new location, so the termination of the lease may not have any meaningful or major impacts. According to Fox News: The DOGE website did not provide a timetable for the closures, although a NARA spokesperson told Fox News Digital the Hoffman Estates library was scheduled to close in late Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and move to College Park

What are the taxpayers doing paying for these monuments to vanity? If former presidents want a library, they should raise the funds for it.

One of the key figures involved in former White House occupant Joe Biden’s thousands of pardons to violent criminals has been terminated. Liz Oyer, the head of the Justice Department’s pardon office, revealed in a LinkedIn post on Friday that she was ousted after three years in the position. “I’m sad to share that I was fired today from the job I have poured my heart and soul into for the last three years,” Oyer wrote on Linkedin. “I am so proud of the team we built in the Office of the Pardon Attorney, who will carry on our important work.” “I’m very grateful for the many extraordinary people I’ve had

If cherry growers have trouble harvesting their crops this year, they should consider hiring CNN staffers. Because the network has demonstrated outstanding cherry-picking abilities. On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish aired clips of interviews with four Americans. And--surprise!--all of them were critical of Trump's economic policies. First up was a shopper outside a Lowe's home improvement store, who said he wasn't able to afford "the price increase." Next was a Washington State dairy farmer who, apparently referring to tariffs, said they will increase the cost of his supplies while limiting his ability to sell his products to Mexico.

Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. Biden would tell non-sense stories on the 2020 campaign trail, including his infamous incoherent one about “Corn Pop: A Bad Dude.” The Washington Post’s Robert Samuels tried to whitewash Biden’s rambling story by writing Soviet-level propaganda validating the tall tale. Even Democrats knew that Biden “wasn’t all there” during the 2020 campaign. Biden would shake hands with people who weren’t there. Biden would walk towards doors that weren’t there, at other times staff would walk him around like a dog. When interviewed by his own Department of Justice, Biden was so confused that they recommended not prosecuting him for mishandling classified documents.

"Is it your theory that the weapon could not have fired within the distance alleged?" Judge Aileen Cannon, who's presiding over the criminal proceedings, asked.

Since the beginning of the Trump 47 administration, Democrats and their media allies have been throwing temper tantrums galore, engaging in pathetic stunts which have included attempts at storming government offices in hopes of thwarting the Trump-authorized mission of Elon Musk and his DOGE teams.We saw it, for instance, just two weeks after Donald Trump took office, with unhinged Democrats including entrenched Rep.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has done something that could be extremely significant. Bailey is demanding the Department of Justice investigate whether Joe Biden's cognitive decline "allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval." (X) "If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void," Bailey claimed. Bailey referenced in his letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz the conversation that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had with Biden, where Biden didn't appear to understand/know that his signature was on an important LNG executive order.

Javier Milei is one of the bright spots in the political world right now. He's a free-market economist in a part of the world overrun by socialists, he's dynamic and charismatic-- and he has great hair. But he doesn't talk to the Argentine media much, preferring to take his case directly to the Argentine people via social media. That may be changing. His administration is now considering taking the question straight to the voters as to which reporters should be allowed to ask President Milei questions - and appeared to make a joke about whether he should have a "mute button" to press if they get carried away:

President Donald Trump has ordered the suspension of security clearances for employees at Perkins Coie, the shady Dem superfirm whose lawyers played a key role in setting up the Steele Dossier and undermining the results of the 2016 election. This is long overdue, as is the termination of federal contracts with the firm. A quick recap: Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign hired Perkins Coie (sending it close to $10 million), using it as a cutout in violation of federal election law to pay “intelligence” firm Fusion GPS to generate and publicize false allegations against her rival Trump. Fusion subcontracted out the work of assembling that “dossier,” including insane claims

The Trump administration has reportedly revoked the visa of a student who protested in favor of Hamas, the Islamic terrorist organization which attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Fox News. The outlet said on Thursday the U.S. State Department confirmed the news, but legal constraints did not allow officials to identify the student or the university the individual attended. State Department officials said, “Yesterday evening, we revoked the first visa of an alien who was previously cited for criminal behavior in connection with Hamas-supporting disruptions. This individual was a university student. ICE will proceed with removing this person from the country.”

Ah, the media. What would they be, if they weren't pitching stories about division? My colleague Sister Toldjah reported earlier about a New York Times report of a fight between Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump shut that down cold, saying he was there and he should know. But it was a silly story they were trying to work into a real division, when what the meeting actually appeared to be about was emphasizing coordination. Not everyone is going to agree on everything. But that wasn't the only story that the Trump team was shooting down and calling b.s. Turns out there was a Trump double-header

Crying poor. Hunter Biden has asked a federal judge to drop the laptop hacking lawsuit he slapped against a former Trump White House aide — because he’s “millions of dollars” in debt, “exacerbated” by losing a home in the Los Angeles wildfires, court filings show. The embattled former first son, 55, blamed the recent fires, as well as dwindling sales from his artwork and memoir, for him being plagued by “significant debt” keeping him from “litigating this case” against Garrett Ziegler, according to a motion filed in federal court in California on Wednesday.

The public does not like President Donald Trump’s plan to sell “Gold Card” citizenships to wealthy foreigners, according to a Rasmussen poll. The Gold Card plan is strongly supported by only 22 percent of likely voters, including just 38 percent of Republicans, according to the February 27 to March 3 poll of 1,180 likely voters. The plan to sell Gold Cards for $5 million is strongly opposed by 33 percent of all respondents, including 36 percent of “moderates.” Overall, the plan is strongly or somewhat backed by 41 percent and opposed by a plurality of 47 percent.

Cairo—The Hamas militant group on Thursday brushed off President Donald Trump’s latest threat and reiterated that it will only free the remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Hamas accused Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to back out of the ceasefire agreement they reached in January. The agreement calls for negotiations over a second phase in which the hostages would be released in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua said the “best path to free the remaining Israeli hostages” is through negotiations on that phase, which were supposed to begin

Just when it seems she couldn't go any further, she comes up with a worse comment. Democrats' performative tricks weren't merely limited to the outbursts in the chamber on Tuesday night when Trump gave a speech before a joint session of Congress. Crockett did her own event, "24-Hour State of the People Marathon," meant to counter Trump's speech. It was then that she made some rather noteworthy remarks about Trump, immigration, and black people.

The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one. What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment. Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports?
