State taxpayers are also hit hard for these freeloader illegal aliens, especially in states like New York, California, and Illinois, but even here in North Carolina. So are local taxpayers. Education and health care for these deadbeats costs a lot. The sooner Trump gets them sent home, the better.

For the longer term, the regulatory powers of the EPA need to be severely limited. They have too much power to screw the economy and family budgets. Zeldin is a hero, but who knows how the next one will be. His predecessor was an eco-fascist terror. And YES, NC does need to deep six that Berger rewrite of HB951

All of these climate doom predictions have turned out to be nothing but hot air every time the date they were supposed to happen passes. Chicken Little should indeed be the symbol of the climate alarmist movement. Or maybe the European farmers have an even better one. They call it "climate communism" with a hammer and sickle as the climate alarmist symbol.

USAID had become a rogue agency, throwing away money on ideological agendas instead of real foreign aid. It is a good thing that waste and fraud has now been eliminated.

Biden's whole Green New Deal was nothing but Climate Industrial Complex grift. Not only are these bad loans blowing up, but they got caught with their $20 Billion slush fund of handing out money to Democrat political operatives through EPA. One of their EPA political appointees had the audacity to call that program "tossing gold bars off of the Titanic".

They had the gall to call this Green New Deal legislation the "Inflation Reduction Act", an exercise in Orwellian Newspeak. That bill actually INCREASED inflation, both indirectly by an explosion in deficit spending, but also directly by raising energy costs, something that impacts to the price of just about everything.

We need to call out the RINOs who helped Biden do it, and that includes Thom Tillis. These RINOs gave their votes to Biden's earlier misnamed Infrastructure bill, so that Biden did not have to use a "Reconciliation" slot for that. By doing so, Tillis and the others preserved the reconsiliation slot so Biden could use it to pass his "Infation Reduction" Green New Deal bill. Tillis needs to be replaced in the priamry in 2026. WE need to bounce Traitor Thom out of the US Senate.

Little Bobbie is what they call a limosine liberal. There are lots of working class people and those on fixed incomes who are struggling to make ends meet, especially after Biden's climate crazy energy policies fueled inflation throughout the economy. Bobbie cares nothing for those people.

We have commissioners who are spendthrifts and that is not good for the taxpayers. The fiasco over that 4 acres that the school superintendant was so utterly incompetent that he did not know the county did not own it, is a case in point.

Under Obama and Biden, USAID was corrupted from its worthy putpose to become a slush fund for the far left and globalists. American taxpayers should not pay for luxury junkets to an ideological indoctrination conference at Davos.

USAID stonewalled congressional inquiries into their controversial programs, including staffers of Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa. The way they handled our tax money was politically motivated and corrupt. We should all thank DOGE for outting this scam and shutting it down. The STate Department has done its due diligence and found most of it bogus.

Our legislature needs to do the same thing to protect citizens and their enjoyment of their own property from these climate grifters and their wind turbines.

The Covid era was another time when the New York Times would only report what was "politically correct" under the government narrative. During that period, the oldest medical journal in the world, the BMJ (British Medical Journal) pusblished an editorial blasting media for refusing to report peer-reviewed scientific studies that disagreed with the government narratives, saying such media were going against both freedom of speech and academic freedom. Similarly when govenrment aligned media like the New York Times refused to acknowledge a peer reviewed study by Danish medical researchers that masks did not work against Covid, the Center for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University blasted the propaganda media for the same reasons.

This is one of the many asinine research studies that our tax dollars are wasted on. And it is cruel to animals on top of that. This is one of the areas where DOGE is needed to prevent waste.

No wonder the Democrats have their panties in a twist over DOGE. DOGE is uncovering a lot of dirt on them and the Deep State, whether gross incompetence or outright fraud. DOGE needs to look at how these career government employees build up huge net worths that their government salaries would not seem to justify.

Taxpayers say HOORAY FOR DOGE.

Maybe we need a Beaufort County DOGE. These slush funds are a cancer on government as the federal DOGE is revealing.

Trump is getting Marxist and racist DEI out of the federal government. UNC has dumped it, as have many other state university systems. Many major companies are also dumping it. When will Beaufort County Community College do so?

You don't have the business success Musk has had if he was an "idiot". Given the alimony and marital property traps, maybe having kids out of wedlock is a smart business decision these days if you want kids especially if you live in California

I would say the real idiot is the person who calls Musk one.

Bigot Bob. Not every conservative is white or male or straight. Indeed a recent poll showed 42% of black males now support President Trump. I know you hate white peopke, especially white males, and most especially straight white males, but your assumptions are just wrong in the current situation.

Of course, not everyone is corrupt, but DOGE and others are sure finding a whole lot of corruption and incompetence in the federal government. Indeed, search engines have reported a huge spike in searches for "criminal defense lawyer" and "RICO" in the Washington, DC area since DOGE started its investigations.

People who threw away our tax money like that ought to be prosecuted, Country Girl. But to the hard left like Little Bobbie, grift is a feature, not a glitch, in progressive "governmance".
