Will, the politburo that pulled Biden's strings already DID that with Big Tech on censorship of social media and news media. Censorship is bad and undemocratic no matter who does it. And Zuckerberg did it with manipulating the 2020 election.

Anyone who is against DOGE must be a supporter of government waster, fraud, and corruption AND a supporter of the Deep State. The bureaucracy is out of control and our country needs someone with the skill set to sort out what is going on. DOGE has found a whole lot of wasted money. Do you want that waste to continue?

It was on the radio this morning that those at FEMA responsible for approving money to put illegal aliens in luxury hotels have been fired and that the clawback process has begun against the hotels. Good job, DOGE.

The Biden and Obama administrations supported this ideological misuse of taxpayer money. They were all-in on the woke agenda and the globalist agenda. They were not about to spill the beans. And USAID constantly stonewalled Congressional inquiries like they tried to do to Sen. Tom Coburn when he went after USAID twenty years ago for funding a pro-prostitution organization in India that covered up for the kidnapping of young girls to be forced prostitutes in brothels.

Not only are electric buses dangerous to occupants when they catch fire, but look at all that air pollution when their lithium batteries burn. Unlike CO2, which is a vital nutriet for plants and harmless to animals, smoke from burning lithium is highly toxic and can cause conditions that are fatal.

Although their lithium batteries are much smaller, that also applies to elect cars as well. While I applaud the great work Musk is doing at DOGE and his steadfast fight for freedom of speech, that would never lead me to buy a Tesla or any other electric car.

IT was Biden's insane energy policies that drove inflation so high. Energy is a component of the price of most everything. Trump has reversed those polcies, but the impact of that is hardly instantaneous. Expecting it to be is a leftist scam to set up a straw man to knock down.

And I notice Bobbie has nothing to say about the miserable impact on jobs of the Biden economy.

Of the two foreign leaders who have commented on Trump's action, both have supported it, both presidents being from recipient countries. One is black and the other Hispanic. Bigot Bob's constant delusion is whining about his "white power" fantasy. Bigot Bob is delusional.

I suspect that if more national leaders were asked about it, like this president was, the media would find a lot more support. Our embassies have been complaining that much of the stuff theat USAID has been funding lately has been upsetting host governments.

Wokeness is NOT an improvement. It is a cancer that needs to be cut out.

USAID in more recent years has a history of attacking western culture and promoting the woke ideology and the globalist ideology. That is not what it was intended to do, or what it did most of its existance. If you look at what they are spending money on now it is mostly wasteful and unnecessary and needs to be eliminated.

Taxpayers have been shelling out a lot of money for woke garbage. Musk is a hero for getting to the bottom of it so fast.

USAID was interfering in domestic American politics, not only by funding the leftwing "Politico" but also funding US-based censorship groups that were targeting conservative news outlets. Not only does USAID need to be shut down but those who ran it need to be ptrsecuted for their diversion of taxpayer funds to domestic political purposes. They need to be in prison. www.thegatewaypundit.com

That is probably just the tip of the iceberg. There is just a lot of waste and misspending of money by government.

More Democrat fear mongering from the far left narrative there, Little Bobbie. Trump has made it clear that Social Security and Medicare are protected. But why is Bobbie now deflecting to protect career bureaucrats? Musk wants a full audit, and that is absolutely called for with what he found. It looks like Bobbie is just a Big Government groupie.

Illegal aliens are a huge burden on taxpayers, but the Biden regime was paying groups to help them on their journeys to the US and then take care of them when they got here. That is outrageous. There needs to be a thorough accounting of this misspent money and some prosecutions over it.

Little Bobbie still does not get it. This plan was concocted in the back room by Cheeseman and his cronies, and designed more to benefit his resume than benefit the students of Beaufort County. Other school board members were largely kept in the dark as was the public. There were no public hearings or public participation in what was needed. Cheeseman and his cronies not only cut other school board members out of the process, but also excluded the public. This was government in the backroom at its worst. And operating this way they screwed up royally on that 4 acre tract.

To fix that blunder, they did another rotten backroom deal that ripped off county taxpayers for a half million dollars. There was more backroom politics by another power clique on the county commission that excluded those not in the clique from participation. Instead of trading land the county had no use for at the old P.S. Jones School, which would have cost the county nothing, they threw away a quarter million of county taxpayer money and a quarter million of tax money controlled by the school board. One wonders what the hidden agenda of the shawdowy power cliques were on that one. It clearly bodes ill for the taxpayers.

Our Beaufort County deep state is as devious and sinister as the one at the national level, and it depends on weak elected officials who allow themselves to be manipulated by bureaucrats.

It is patently obvious that our school system is not well run. An overbearing superintendant seems to be part of the problem, but so are those members of the school board who fail to do their jobs to stay on top of things. It would seem like they also need to find an attorney closer to home. Taxpayers got soaked by their incompetence on this school construction boondoggle.
