'Mississippi Musk' Finds $400 Million
in State Government Waste
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/14/2025 3:00:03 PM
“When the sun goes down, the tide goes out, the people gather 'round and they all begin to shout, ‘Hey, hey, in the dusk, it's a lift to beat the left with ol' Mississippi Musk!’” Okay, okay, so it’s not as catchy as the actual song, but one thing that is catching is the Trumpian quest to cut the fat from government spending and make more efficient, and saner, use of the taxpayers’ money. In Mississippi, state auditor Shad White, also known as “Mississippi Musk,” has been hard at work against state government bloat, and what he has found is enlightening.

Honestly, I haven’t thought about Keith Olbermann in a long, long time. But apparently, he’s still out there, trying to be relevant. Yet, he unwittingly gave himself the wrong kind of publicity when he posted a completely unhinged rant in a video on X.
In the video, the former MSNBC host called for the arrest of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Tom Homan, accusing them of defying a Supreme Court order.
“Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and Tom Homan, the head of ICE [sic] must be arrested immediately for contempt of court,” Olbermann raged.
You had to know it was coming at some point. Left-wingers have targeted everything else at this point to soothe their deranged ideology, and it was just a matter of time before man's best friend ended up in the crosshairs. Yes, after destroying your childhood memories through various reimaginings of everything you held dear, they're now coming after your dog. [Tweet]
Dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions, new research has found.
An Australian review of existing studies has argued that “the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognised”.
Joe Biden’s private email scandal is likely much worse than Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
And just like Hillary, Biden was never indicted for his use of burner phones and private emails while he was US Vice President.
Special Counsel Robert Hur ignored Joe Biden’s use of private emails.
The National Archives previously confirmed through a FOIA response that they found 5,138 email messages and 25 electronic files pertaining to the known Joe Biden pseudonym accounts robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov.
According to newly unredacted documents, in 2014, while Joe Biden was publicly calling for sanctions against Russia, he was privately negotiating an oil and gas deal to help his son Hunter.
Cody Balmer, the suspect who allegedly burned the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion, while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were in it, is now known to be a far left socialist and BLM supporter.
That is not how the media is reporting on him.
A memo must have gone out because at least two liberal media outlets are emphasizing the fact that Balmer was ‘critical of the Democrats.’
What might a person infer from that last part? That he’s a right winger? Is that why they media is doing this? Or are they trying to imply that Democrats are dealing with threats just like Republicans? Either way, it’s completely dishonest.
Pelosi’s angels.
Democrats have a long history of defending violent, illegal alien gangbangers.
Former Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi defended MS-13 in 2018 saying they were “God’s children…” and, “There’s a spark of divinity in every person.”
MS13’s motto is, “Kill, rape, control.”
That won’t keep Democrats from defending this brutal and evil multi-national gang.
On Monday, Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries once again came unglued and vowed to defend the illegal alien, MS-13 gangbangers.
Democrats are VERY upset that an illegal alien MS-13 gangbanger was returned to El Salvador. And Democrats were absolutely outraged that the Salvadoran President said he will NOT return the dangerous illegal alien gangbanger back to the US.
An illegal alien, accused of rape in Alabama, was caught at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in an alleged attempt to flee the United States and escape such charges.
Artemio Garcia Perez, a 20-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, was arrested late last week by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at the airport in Atlanta, Georgia. [Tweets, video]
Garcia Perez had been wanted by the Opelika Police Department in Alabama on first-degree rape charges. Details around the rape charge are still unknown.
His brother, illegal alien Jose Luis Maldonado Perez of Guatemala, had already been arrested for first-degree hindering prosecution in the case against Garcia Perez.

Democrats are freaking out that El Salvador won’t return a man despite the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruling on the deportation.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is refusing to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, deported by President Donald Trump’s administration amid suspicion of MS-13 gang affiliation. When questioned by reporters on whether he’s going to abide by last week’s SCOTUS ruling ordering the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States, Bukele’s response was blunt.
“Of course I’m not going to do it,” he said.
Both Trump and Garcia have agreed that they lack the power to return Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national
Where Dr. Anthony Fauci had received scorn, President Donald Trump earned praise as PETA lauded the administration’s decision on “archaic” practices associated with the former bureaucrat.
The never-ending corporate media COVID circuit and the policy spin that followed in his wake were likely a first glimpse for many into the record of the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. However, as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organization has often pointed out, the face of The Science™ and his authorization of horrific animal experiments remained “just the tip of the iceberg,” now being chipped away by the GOP leader.
An outspoken critic of the Israel-Hamas war was arrested by immigration authorities while trying to become a citizen.
Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian green card holder, reportedly went to an immigration office in Vermont on Monday to complete what he thought would be the next step toward citizenship.
“Instead, he was arrested and removed in handcuffs by plainclothes, armed individuals with their faces covered,” according to a joint statement from Senators Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch, in addition to Rep. Becca Balint. “These individuals refused to provide any information as to where he was being taken or what would happen to him.”
An all-female "crew" went to space on Monday courtesy of Jeff Bezos and his "Blue Origin" rocket. Among them were singer Katy Perry and left-wing anchor Gayle King, and somehow, both women managed to return to earth even more insufferable than before.
The pretentiousness of this quote from Perry is off the charts.
"I think that it's not about me, it's not about singing my songs, it's about a collective energy in there," Perry said afterward. "It's about making space for future women, and taking up space and belonging, and it's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it.
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal was dragged on social media for daring to be friendly with President Donald Trump.
The former Los Angeles Lakers star was given no mercy after a moment that went viral from the UFC 314 fight on Saturday night, where Trump arrived to a roaring welcome from the crowd.
Accompanied by his grandchildren, Elon Musk, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FBI Director Kash Patel, and UFC President Dana White, the president was seen in a video clip shaking hands with Shaq, leaning in to say something to the 7-foot tall former professional basketball player.
National championship trophies do not come with handling instructions, but perhaps they should.
On Monday, as the Ohio State Buckeyes football team visited the White House to celebrate their national championship, former Ohio Senator and current Vice President JD Vance picked up the trophy for a photo-op, only to have the hardware fall apart. [Tweet, video]
A combination of gasps and laughter swept through the crowd and the assembled players as stunned onlookers looked at what they believed was a broken trophy. However, as was apparently unknown to Vance at the time, the upper portion of the trophy rests in the base portion,

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of the more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who flew into the United States during former President Joe Biden's time in office.
The migrants came to the U.S. under Biden's controversial controversial CHNV mass humanitarian parole program.
In her order, Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote that each migrant needs to have an individualized, case-by-case review.

Washington— Former President Joe Biden returns to the national stage Tuesday to elevate liberal concerns that President Donald Trump’s agenda is threatening the health of Social Security.
The 82-year-old Democrat has largely avoided speaking publicly since leaving the White House in January. That’s even as Trump frequently blames Biden for many of the nation’s problems, often attacking his predecessor by name.
Biden is expected to fight back in an early evening speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago. While Biden has made a handful of public appearances in recent weeks, Tuesday’s high-profile address focuses on a critical issue for tens of millions of Americans
Gayle King on Tuesday suggested it was sexist to characterize her brief trip into space with Blue Origin as a “space ride.” King and several other celebrities — including pop star Katy Perry — took part in an all-woman space flight Monday morning. The fiancee of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos was also part of the group. In the aftermath of the 11-minute trip, critics wondered what the purpose of the trip was. Some even flatly dismissed it as a publicity stunt. The next morning, King and fellow Blue Origin crewmate Aisha Bowe talked about scientific impact similar trips on

house arrest in stabbing death of Austin Metcalf 23 replies
The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing another high schooler at a track meet was released from jail Monday after posting a reduced $250,000 bond and will remain on house arrest until his trial.
A judge in Collin County slashed the 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s initial $1 million bond and said he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor and 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.”
Anthony has been locked in Collin County Jail for allegedly stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2. He is charged with first-degree murder.
Can Trump Fix His FUBAR Tariff Rollout?
21 replies
So far, President Donald Trump has been piloting his second term like Maverick from “Top Gun.” With one exception. The tariff rollout has been FUBAR, which is troubling since it’s Trump’s signature economic policy issue.
There have been glaring missteps along the way, repeated pauses, confused and conflicting messaging, turf wars. It’s draining public support and causing real economic problems as businesses can’t make plans while all this is in flux.
We aren’t privy to insider gossip to speculate why this is. But we can say that Trump needs to get his tariff act together, and fast.

After Trump’s exchange with Kaitlin Collins of CNN today, he suggested that CNN hates our country. Every Trump supporter knows why he said this. Almost everyone on that network is anti-Trump and anti-Trump supporters.
When CNN cut back to the studio, it was absolutely clear that host Dana Bash was not happy about Trump’s comments and she addressed them while looking visibly bothered and frustrated.
The truth hurts sometimes.
The Hill reported:
CNN anchor Dana Bash rebuked President Trump after he suggested on Monday the cable news network is withholding positive information about his administration from the public out of hatred.
There is a cancer in America’s military ranks, and it must be expunged before it’s too late. That cancer lies in uniformed service members’ widespread rejection of the uniquely American concept of civilian control of the military and disregard for the absolute necessity that America’s military officers remain apolitical in the face of the constitutional will of the electorate. Recent events reveal this cancer,... [Snip] I have heard from some anti-Trump officers that it is acceptable for them to challenge Trump and be “disloyal” to him on political matters... [Snip] The trends we are seeing feel dangerously close to an embrace of 1970s South American-style military juntas.
In a Monday night letter, William J. Pulter, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Agency (FHFA), referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice for prosecution of mortgage fraud. (snip) Pulter said the agency has "identified matters that are appropriate for referral to the U.S. Department of Justice for consideration of criminal prosecution."
He added that, based on media reports, "Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms."
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) shot up in a poll that asked about the 2028 Democratic presidential primary after his recent record-breaking Senate speech. Booker placed second in a hypothetical primary behind former Vice President Kamala Harris in an Echelon Insights poll released this week, drawing support from 11 percent of respondents. In the same poll last month, Booker drew 2 percent support among party respondents — putting him in line with roughly a dozen other Democratic figures with low single-digit support. Booker, who is serving in his second term, set a record for the longest Senate speech in history in early
VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES -- New details were revealed in the tragic death of a 7-year-old girl in Van Nuys on Friday. Eyewitness News spoke with the suspect's fiancé, who is still in shock and grieving. Police identified the child's mother, 37-year-old Graciela Castellanos, as the primary suspect in the girl's death. She's accused of drowning her own daughter. A neighbor told ABC7 she heard the young child screaming, "Mommy, please no. Mommy, please no." (Snip) "First, I want to say that my wife was an almost perfect mom. She never told a bad word, yelled at the girl, didn't
