Secretary of State Rubio Makes HUGE Announcement
About USAID
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/10/2025 1:46:55 PM
Secretary of State Marco Rubio just delivered a knockout blow to one of the Deep State's favorite money pits. In a stunning announcement on X, Rubio confirmed what fiscal conservatives have long demanded: "After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID." Let that sink in. A whopping 5,200 contracts, worth tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, are getting the axe. These programs, long criticized for being ineffective money-drainers that often work against American interests, will finally stop hemorrhaging our hard-earned cash. “In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could well be the first secretary of health and human services since the department was rebranded in 1981, and maybe even the first since the Department of Health, Education and Welfare was established in 1953, to be determined to take positive and concrete steps actually to improve the health of Americans rather than to line the pockets of Big Pharma or promote the nationalization and bureaucratization of the health care system. With precisely the goal of improving Americans’ health in mind, RFK Jr. traveled to Florida over the weekend and stopped by the popular burger joint Steak ‘n Shake.
By all rights, Kamala Harris's storyline for Jan. 6, 2021, should have been that she narrowly escaped being assassinated by a bomb timed to detonate at the Democratic National Committee headquarters when the newly elected vice president was inside. But she never mentioned it. In fact, the pipe bomber case and the FBI's handling of it turned into vapor right after they tracked down the bomber's cell phone. None of this makes sense.
Maybe things will make sense soon.
FBI Chief Kash Patel has been sending the documents that the Senate and House Judiciary Committees have been seeking for years.
Remember when Democrats thought they had a winning message to combat Trump's popularity by harping about egg prices? They just lost their favorite talking point.
“Instead of leaning into Trump’s teardown of the federal government or his alliance with billionaire lieutenant Elon Musk, they’re steering to what they perceive as the everyday concerns of Americans (Snip) According to Trading Economics, after reaching an all-time high of $8.17 per dozen in early March, egg prices have plummeted to $5.51, which now sits below the nearly $7 average when President Trump took office in January.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the nation’s top border official from 2021 to 2025, is denying blame for President Donald Trump’s smashing victory in 2024, which has scattered and impoverished the Democratic Party’s many interest groups.
Instead, Mayorkas is blaming Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott and the upstart new media that he could not control as he gambled the party’s future by importing more than 10 million migrants for use by businesses and progressives.
“I am very proud of what we did do,” Mayorkas told a friendly Harvard interviewer on March 5.

The Department of Agriculture has cancelled a grant that recognizes menstrual cycles in ‘transgender men’ highlighted by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins last week.
The grant awarded by USDA was specifically for Southern University Agricultural & Mechanical College in Louisiana. A description of the grant states in part that “the first occurrence of menstruation occurs at approximately 12 years of age and ends with menopause at roughly 51 years of age.”
“A woman will have a monthly menstrual cycle for about 40 years of her life, averaging to about 450 periods over the course of her lifetime,” it continues, contending that it is “also important to recognize that transgender men

$900 Million After Reviewing Just 2% of Contracts 13 replies
The Department of Veterans Affairs has saved roughly $900 million after reviewing just two percent of its contracts, VA Secretary Doug Collins announced.
In a video posted to his official X account, Collins addressed those complaining about changes being made at Veterans Affairs and explained that no matter what, no changes will result in cuts to health care or benefits to veterans and VA beneficiaries.
“VA will always fulfill its duty to provide veterans, families, caregivers and survivors the health care and benefits they have earned. That’s a promise, and while we conduct our review, VA will continue to hire for more than 300,000 mission critical positions
The Trump Justice Department on Monday filed an emergency motion for a stay pending appeal after a corrupt Obama judge reinstated a Biden-appointed labor board leader.
“This appeal arises from an order of the district court reinstating a principal officer of the United States whom the President has lawfully fired. The court’s unprecedented order works a grave harm to the separation of powers and undermines the President’s ability to exercise his authority under the Constitution. The government seeks a stay of the order pending appeal and respectfully requests an immediate administrative stay,” the DOJ wrote in the motion for a stay pending appeal.

On March 7, 2025, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — on his second day in office – sent a written notice of termination to Liz Oyer, Pardon Attorney in the Department of Justice. The Pardon Attorney is a “career” position in that it is not an office that requires a presidential appointment that is confirmed by the Senate. The Pardon Attorney is appointed by the Attorney General, but the position is in the “Senior Executive Service.” These are the top management positions just below the presidential appointees in all federal agencies.
Oyer posted the written notice she was given on her LinkedIn page. It reads in part:

Due in large part to the decisive 2024 election of President Donald Trump, the creation of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), and efforts of other-worldly-brilliant Elon Musk, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) initiatives continue to give way to SMR — sanity, morality, and reason — in America.
Throughout the four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris administration, DEI thrived like an insidious cancer, (Snip) While those days are ending, a new study reveals the "staggering scope" of DEI that was injected into the government during Joe Biden's reign.
So how staggering? Staggering to the tune of more than one trillion taxpayer dollars.

Some of the country's elite law firms are discovering that their activities as part of the "resistance" during Trump 1.0 and the harassment of Trump and his allies during the interregnum were not all fun and games. Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order stripping powerhouse Democrat and progressive law firm Perkins Coie of all government contracts and supported facilities, like sensitive compartmented information facilities, and suspending the security clearances held by its attorneys; see Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP – The White House. The reasons given were Perkins Coie's acting as George Soros stormtroopers to knock down voter ID laws,
There are still any number of Biden-era boondoggles to be defunded and defenestrated. Case in point: DOGE Caucus chair Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX) are introducing a bill to drag back $3 billion allocated by the Biden administration's stupendously misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act" to build electric postal service delivery trucks.
This delivery truck issue is a great example of government incompetence in action.
A South Carolina defense contractor responsible for the 60,000-vehicle order was already "far behind schedule" as of November. A Washington Post exposé revealed that by then, fewer than 100 of these vehicles had been delivered to USPS.
It’s called a “squash match.” And it’s one of the secret ingredients that makes the con so effective.
[Spoiler Alert] Pro wrestling isn’t real. (Snip) This takes us to the Democratic Party’s hysterical response to Donald Trump’s speech to the nation. While the president of the United States was explaining his agenda — recognizing courageous cancer survivors and applauding sick children — the Democrats were booing, waving signs, and disrupting the proceedings.
Never mind that Donald Trump won the popular vote.

Warren, Mich. — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.
He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
“What all of this tells me, is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move toward oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,” Sanders yelled.
Approximately 60 drones were launched from Ukraine overnight to attack the Russian capital city of Moscow. This is the largest escalation of drone/missile attacks into Russia so far. The attack comes, predictably, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz and President Trump envoy Steve Witkoff arrive in Saudi Arabia for preliminary face-to-face talks with Ukraine officials. [Snip] 60+ drones launched against Russia’s largest city is intended to draw a major retaliation from Russian President Vladimir Putin, that is what the UK/EU and NATO apparatus want. The Zelenskyy people want Russia to attack Kiev so they can enlarge the scale and scope of U.S. involvement.
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, has been working to eliminate what it considers redundant positions and cut costs. With roughly 200,000 federal workers now out of jobs, many are scrambling to find new employment. But for those who worked for agencies like the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, or Fish and Wildlife Service, job opportunities outside of government are slim. Coloradan Tina Jackson's one-year probationary period as a federal employee was set to end on March 10. But three weeks ago, she was let go from the Fish and Wildlife Service team she headed. After
NEW YORK (AP) — Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, will host a new weekly podcast series starting this month featuring a special guest pulled from the world of entertainment, sports, health and business.
“IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson” will address “everyday questions shaping our lives, relationships and the world around us,” according to a press release. IMO is slang for “in my opinion.”
Some of the guests slated to speak to the former first lady and Robinson, the executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, include the actors Issa Rae and Keke Palmer and psychologist Dr. Orna Guralnik.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Monday that the security clearances of 51 intelligence officers who signed a letter portraying Hunter Biden’s laptop as ‘Russian disinformation’ have been officially revoked.
Gabbard, one of several strong, intelligent women with a significant role in President Trump's cabinet, delivered the bad news to some high-profile members of the intelligence community.
Names such as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Directors Mike Hayden, John Brennan, and Leon Panetta, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton signed on to the letter. And by doing so, they eventually signed onto their own security clearance revocation.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) admitted to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk that the Democrats have taken wildly unpopular positions on certain issues — such as men competing in women’s sports — but will continue maintaining such losing stances as a matter of “principle.”
“I don’t mind losing. Sometimes you lose on principle,” the California governor told Kirk during Thursday’s episode of the This Is Gavin Newsom podcast.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Starlette Thomas remembers coming down almost daily to the intersection of 16th and H streets, to protest police brutality and systemic racial iniquities during the summer of 2020. On Monday, the 45-year old Bowie, Maryland resident returned to the site of those protests to mourn the end of Black Lives Matter Plaza. “I needed to be here today. I can’t just let this go away,” Thomas said, as jackhammers began tearing into the giant yellow letters in the street. Thomas discretely secured a chunk of pavement and said holding it made her feel conflicted.
Former Obama advisor Van Jones declared that the Democratic Party was "screwed" and trapped between two deeply unpopular factions.
The CNN commentator couldn’t help but laugh at the "nightmare" Democrats were in when asked about the ongoing friction between party members.
"Look, man, we’re screwed," Jones said on "CNN Newsroom" Sunday. "I mean, Democrats don’t know what to do. This is a nightmare. You know, somebody like Donald Trump, we thought we’d at least have Hakeem Jeffries in the Speaker’s chair to hold him back if we didn‘t have Kamala in there to do the right thing."
