    Take it for what it is: The summation of the collective intelligence of the MAGA movement. Wave those Pom Poms!

    Absolutely. He is absolutely controlled by Xi, has him on speed dial. Again, notice the lack of actual tariffs on China and watch as more and more of those willing to pay Trump directly get absolved from tariffs too.

    We are going to test out the hypothesis of "what happens when an empire destroys its soft power doing the heavy lifting of hegemony and only deals in threats and force?"

    USAID has sent millions of dollars to Bill Kristol for some reason.


    Other places your tax dollars end up include:

    The FBI and DOJ will be investigating USAID. Last night 600 USAID workers were locked out of their computers. Other workers were told not to show up for work.

    This story is just beginning. Americans will be shocked by the corruption uncovered. You can see why the corrupt Deep State fears Tulsi, Kash, Elon and Trump. They're on a mission. Democrats need to play ball or get our of the way. Given they're corruption, Dems and even some Pubs will try to prevent RFK Jr, Kash and Tulsi from being confirmed.

    Says Mike Benz . . . with literally ZERO evidence to back it up. Yep. Sounds like Mike Benz. The king of baseless, unverifiable hyperbole.

    Investigations usually happen before the punishment part. Innocent until proven guilty. Is that no longer a thing?

    More confession by projection. Benz is the #1 expert on USAID on social media.

    USAID supported the al Qaeda headchoppers in Syria

    Sure he is. In the world with pink skies and trees made of cotton candy. You know, MAGA world. How's the weather in our sister city (St. Petersburg). Warm and sunny here in the FL version.

    Oh, and love this line, ". . . on social media". I spit out my coffee on that one. Yes, social media, such a fine barometer of truth.

    We've known what USAID does for a long time. Elon is executing the plan to get rid of gov't corruption and evil doers. Stand aside, the MAGA train is coming through.

    Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID

    Musk announced the planned closure of the foreign assistance agency early Monday on social media.



    Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that he and President Donald Trump were in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent.

    Musk, the head of Trump’s government efficiency initiative, announced the shutdown in the middle of the night in an audio-only appearance on his social media site X.

    Here's a 49 minute video from Mike Benz you can watch. I'm not going to spoon feed it to you.

    I've seen enough of Mike Benz and his unsubstantiated claims to know better than to subject myself to that torture. If I wanted baseless nonsense with nothing substantial (other than weird X posts) to back it up, I'd ask you.

    Speak for yourself. I don't like trains with unelected, crazed conductors blowing through process and procedure with impunity.

    Elon isn't ridding the government of corruption and evil doers. Co-President Elon Musk is the living embodiment of corruption and along with the nominal president one of the evil doers in chief. Business enterprises controlled by Musk are either dependent on Federal government contracts (see SpaceX) and/or are subject to federal regulations and oversight (see the investigation of Tesla's autonomous driving system by NHTSA). Trump's obvious decision to delegate most of the powers of the presidency to Musk is kind of like giving the proverbial fox unlimited access to the hen house. You're right the MAGA train is coming and it's transporting the greatest level of corruption in the history of the Republic.

    musk & Trump stopping aid will result in deaths of many, including children.


    “the “unprecedented” freeze was “forcing organisations to halt programmes abruptly, leading to job losses and reduction in essential services to vulnerable populations”.

    “They are so abrupt, there’s no cool-down period – it’s not in 30 days or 60 days. You have to stop now.”

    “estimated that nearly 3 million children could be at higher risk of malaria if the president’s malaria initiative paused work for 90 days

    Charities reeling from USAid freeze warn of ‘life or death’ effects

    Don't know if it's ignorance of the Constitution or a willful decision to ignore the Constitution, as a point of information USAID was created by an Act of Congress. It would take another Act of Congress to dismantle the agency.

    This post got a disagree. I'd wonder what that person disagrees with.

    I'd be very interested to see them articulate that.

    Sadly, the best we'll probably see from that individual is something like "hahahahahahhaa libby libz!!!"




    And for the record, the quoted post is probably pretty accurate.
