    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has cut over $30 million in "frivolous and unnecessary" government grants and contracts in the last three weeks, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire.

    The department said that it had cut a total of $31,692,166 in spending between August 22 and September 12. The savings were from de-obligated grants and contracts targeted as part of President Donald Trump's efforts to cut down on government waste, the department told The Daily Wire.

    "In just three weeks, Secretary Noem has saved the taxpayer more than $30 million. That's more than $1 million per DAY," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, it is no longer open season on the American taxpayer at DHS. The Trump administration is draining the swamp, restoring accountability to the federal government, and putting hardworking Americans FIRST again."

    Under the Trump administration, all department contracts worth over $100,000 have to be approved by Noem.

    In total, the Department of Homeland Security said it has saved over $12 billion during Noem's tenure. In total, that equals out to saving about $50 million per day during the Trump administration.

    Homeland Security also said that it was providing savings to American taxpayers by deporting illegal aliens.

    "These savings figures don't even include the additional savings from DHS's immigration enforcement efforts since President Trump resumed office," the department said.

    According to an estimate from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the net cost of illegal immigration on American citizens is around $150 billion per year. These costs include schooling, health care, and food assistance for illegal aliens.


    "Taxes paid by illegal aliens only cover around 17.2 percent of the costs they create for American citizens, bringing the net cost to $150.7 billion a year. For every dollar in taxes paid by illegal aliens, they and their dependents consume six dollars in benefits and services," the organization found.

    The Trump administration is looking to use new funds allocated by the Big, Beautiful Bill to help increase deportations.

There is a revelation within the Democratic Socialists, which is creating a newfound discovery that masks are bad or wrong for society, and should not be worn by certain groups; currently the rancor is to unmask ICE agents: What is your opinion on the wearing of masks?

  Yes, ICE agents should wear masks if it keeps them safe from the threat of doxing, and greater public violence against their families by intolerant Leftists raging against the defenseless.

  No, ICE agents must be forced to reveal their true selves; however, wearing masks while rioting and looting is within the bounds of the Leftist dictum.

  I wear masks often at Halloween.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
