There is nothing green about the 'green' agenda * WorldNetDaily * by Steve Milloy, Real Clear Wire: 

Now that the Democrats have lost their lock grip on power, what's a green activist to do? It's almost comical how the climate left is trying to cloak their agenda in terms they think will melt in Republicans' ears. For example, Jennifer Granholm, energy secretary in the Biden administration recently penned an opinion piece arguing that President Trump is playing right into Communist China's evil hands by killing off America's green economy. Translation: The left is furious that Trump has halted the flow of billions of taxpayers' dollars to subsidize electric vehicles that nobody wants and only the well-off can afford. The new president is killing the "green economy," as Granholm puts it. There is nothing green about the climate left's solutions.

5 of the worst USAID scandals in history

The agency's low points, from working with child sex abusers to enabling drug trafficking - Matthew Petti 

...of course, a program can be relatively small and still be wasteful—and the damage they do can often exceed the price tag. 

There's a long history of USAID projects supporting bad actors, fostering anti-American resentment, building an unhealthy dependence on foreign money, and doing more harm than good. 

Here are some of the most infamous examples:

• Funding drug production in Afghanistan ($1.46 billion)

Drugs were the elephant in the room during the failed U.S. war in Afghanistan. Because opium was such a large part of the poor and war-torn country's economy, the fighting between the Taliban and the U.S.-backed Afghan republic often looked more like a turf war between rival narco gangs, with the U.S. military protecting some opium fields and bombing others. USAID tried to change this state of affairs, spending $1.46 billion on "alternative development programs" from 2002 to 2017. 

• Child sex abuse scandals in Africa ($29.6 million)

A USAID-funded charity in Kenya allegedly covered up rampant sex abuse of children, and USAID funded a second charity in the Central African Republic a month after a major sex abuse scandal broke, Bloomberg reported last year. The Children of God Relief Institute, which ran an orphanage for Kenyan children affected by AIDS and similar projects, received high praise from the U.S. government. From 2013 onward, USAID gave the institute $29.3 million...

• A medical supply boondoggle ($9.5 billion)...

Agent confirms DEI contributed to near-killing of Trump * WorldNetDaily * by Susan Crabtree, Real Clear Wire: 

A Secret Service agent is for the first time publicly speaking out against the agency's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, which he says contributed to the first assassination attempt against President Trump last summer. A 13-year veteran of the agency who has served in an elite unit and top protective assignments, Rashid Ellis sat down for an interview with the Independent Women's Forum, a Virginia-based conservative nonprofit.

The US Treasury Spent HOW MUCH Illegally? Now You Know Why the Left Wants to Stop DOGE.

Congress illegally spent at least $516 billion in 2024 on programs for which there was no authorization. - streiff 

Yes, billion, with a "b." 

A stunning report by the Congressional Budget Office underscores the reason for the legal assault upon President Trump's right to audit payments by the Treasury Department...

• The legal authority for some of these payments expired 40 — that's not a typo — years ago.

This data reveals a couple of things. First, Congress has established a shadow funding stream for pet projects of either the institution or of senior members that allows money to be shoveled into a porkulus spending bill under the guise of preventing a government shutdown. The money is paid even though there is no legal authority for the disbursement. This is what, among lesser beings, would be called embezzlement, but no word exists to describe the activity on this scale. Where embezzlement gets the plebians a stiff jail term, it gets members of Congress reelected and seats on corporate boards.

Making this all the more intriguing is that it would seem that the President could stop those payments without worrying about violating the Impoundment Control Act as they are not legal appropriations by Congress's rules.

I will guarantee you that when DOGE really digs into this, they are going to find other ongoing illegal payments on a Biblical scale.

ASU progressives worry about tech ‘oligopoly’ in Trump’s second term

Were they asleep the last four years? - College Fix Staff 

Progressive students at Arizona State University are concerned about President Trump’s relationships with “some of the wealthiest tech CEOs in the country,” including Apple’s Tim Cook, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and, of course, Elon Musk.
Those like Gem Wolf-Schwaiger, a member of the Young Democrats at ASU who studies human communication and political science, worry the president’s “close” relationship with Musk, et. al. will result in social media being controlled by those who are in it “for themselves and for power,” The State Press reports.
Wolf-Schwaiger said tech giants “have vested interests in exploiting others” and will do away with the “self-managing” of social media feeds...

Trump reminds Dems throwing hissy fit over Dept. of Education that student scores are abysmal * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation

Trump reminds Dems throwing hissy fit over Dept. of Education that student scores are abysmal * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

President Donald Trump reminded Democratic lawmakers who attempted to force their way into the Department of Education that American students' proficiency and test scores continue to be on a stark decline at a Friday press conference. A crowd of Democrats, most notably Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters, raged at a security guard in front of the department building Friday morning after they were denied entry into the premises. Trump responded, stating that the U.S. pours billions of dollars into the public education system in return for very little results as students' test scores in core subjects have continued to plummet since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Foolproof Ways To Avoid Getting Deported

Most Of The Rise In CO2 Likely Comes From Natural Sources

The Carbon Cycle – Nature or Nurture? Ed Caryl
We know, from ice measurements, measurements at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, Barrow Alaska, and the South Pole, that atmospheric carbon dioxide has been increasing in our atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial age. 

We also know that temperatures have been increasing in that same time interval, as the earth warms up from the “Little Ice Age.” 

The proponents of the theory that man’s production of CO2 has resulted in this temperature increase, use that idea to predict future temperature increases based on our continuing to use fossil fuels and continuing to force an increase in atmospheric CO2. 

But, is the increase in CO2 due to man; or is the increase in CO2 natural, due to rising temperatures caused by natural means?

• The natural CO2 flux to and from oceans and land plants amounts to approximately 210 gigatons of carbon annually. 
• Man currently causes about 8 gigatons of carbon to be injected into the atmosphere, about 4% of the natural annual flux. 

There are estimates that about half of man’s emissions are taken up by nature. 

But is that true? 

• Are there variations in the natural flux? Could those explain the CO2 increase?...

Trump challenges California's emissions standards dictatorship | Blaze Media: 

California's days of telling the country what kind of car it can drive may be numbered. The story so far, for those just joining us: The Biden administration's EPA granted the state a waiver to adapt its own emissions standards under the Clean Air Act, standards stricter than those imposed federally.

This is why!

 

Defending What? - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry

Turns out, you can learn a lot about what people value when faced with a crisis, they decide what to defend. - Michael Smith

The Democrats claimed for years to be the defenders and protectors of what?

• Didn't they claim, repetitively and without end, it was "democracy"?

Well, thanks to President Trump, the SpaceX Cowboy, and his Mighty Morphin' Power Nerds, now we know once and for all that isn't quite true, don't we?

• So, what is it they are defending?

Why shucks, ma'am, they are defending the bureaucracy - and what is another name for the entrenched bureaucracy?
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
We call it the Deep State, Ferris.

• To the point of excluding all else, it is all about the Deep State versus the people who were elected to put a bridle and bit in the mouth of these Horses of the Apocalypse and yanking them back on the trail...

Vax Truth As you may know, the organization... - Gregory Wrightstone | Facebook

The outbreak of COVID was in January 2020 and the vaccine became available in the early spring of 2021 and by the fall of 2021 all of the following was known but suppressed.

• It 2020-2021 it was known that there were 2 safe drugs that could treat early COVID; first Hydroxychloroquine and then Ivermectin. These drugs had been used in humans for years without harmful side effects. Yet, they were demonized by the drug companies, medical establishment and journals. Why? The vaccines were used under EUA (Emergency Use Authority) and this power could not be used if alternatives to the vaccines were available. Without the EUA the drug companies would have had to do formal clinical trials (which would have revealed what I detail below). As it was, there was no such human testing, and the vaccines were given to a few mice and then to humans.
• Next, it was obvious by the summer of 2021 from public health data that the vaccinated did worse than non-vaccinated. There were 2 reasons...
• The damage caused by the pandemic was made much worse by the hysteria. The outbreak should have been handled by well-established public health principles as specified in the Great Barrington Declaration. Instead, panic porn prevailed...

Democrats Have Trump Fever, and There Is No Cure - Kurt Schlichter 

 It’s spreading so fast and infecting so many systems so hard from so many different directions that the regime media can’t figure out how to coordinate their response...

The virus is spreading too fast and mutating too quickly for traditional medicine to stop it.

• The shrieking Democrat morons who try to counterattack from the outside are just as ineffective. 
• You’ve got shrieking morons like Senator Chris Murphy whining on X about how Donald Trump is launching a coup, which is an interesting way to refer to exercising the power of the office he was just elected to.

USAID: A slush fund for the deep state | Blaze Media

USAID: A slush fund for the deep state | Blaze Media: 

To understand USAID’s true nature, one must start with its origins. The agency was established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, ostensibly to assist developing nations in modernizing and alleviating poverty.

But from the very beginning, the waters were poisoned.

Former USAID Director John Gilligan admitted as much, stating, "At one time, many AID field offices were infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people."

This was no accident. USAID has long served as a hub for intelligence operations, shaping political movements and offering protection for various swamp creatures, one of whom will be discussed shortly.
