The European Commission Faces Its Biggest Scandal in 20 Years
It has now come to light that the EU commission gave €1 billion of public funds to green NGOs and lobbyists to promote the policies of the EU Commission. - Paul Homewood
Recent reports from the “Brussels Morning” newspaper said that the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf had uncovered findings that are now shaking the entire European Union.
They discovered that the European Commission had been financing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) lobbying for the policies of former EU Commissioner Frans Timmermans and influencing politicians to push through his “Green Deal.”...
The Report says, “We demand transparency from green NGOs. The European Commission must not use taxpayers’ money to fund studies from affiliated NGOs that conveniently produce results tailored to the Commission’s agenda. That is simply wrong. Studies must be professional and independent. European funds should never be used to serve a political faction or ideology, nor to manipulate MEPs or the public.”
DOGE Won’t Leak Government Data—The Bureaucracy Already Did
The lawsuits against DOGE rest on a flimsy premise: that allowing Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access to federal data presents an existential threat to privacy and national security. - @amuse
Yet, these same plaintiffs and judges—almost uniformly aligned with the Democratic Party—have turned a blind eye to real, systemic data breaches that have compromised the personal and financial information of millions of Americans.
The contrast could not be starker: while DOGE’s access is hamstrung over hypothetical risks, the federal government has hemorrhaged sensitive information through negligence, incompetence, and outright criminal acts, often without any meaningful accountability.
- Consider the staggering breach of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in 2015, when Chinese hackers infiltrated federal systems, exfiltrating detailed background check data on over 22 million current and former government employees...
- Fast forward to 2023, and the IRS suffered another massive internal breach—not from external hackers, but from one of its own. Charles Littlejohn, a government contractor, illegally accessed and leaked the tax returns of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and countless other high-net-worth individuals to left-wing media outlets. His five-year sentence is cold comfort given the irreversible violation of privacy.
Where was the righteous indignation from the very judges and plaintiffs now waging war against DOGE?
They had no interest in reigning in the IRS when it was weaponized to embarrass political opponents...

EPA cancels millions in Biden-era environmental grants | Fox News:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is teaming up with Elon Musk's cost-cutting department to draw back environmental grants issued by the former Democratic administration. The EPA and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), President Donald Trump's newly formed department aimed at cutting federal spending, recently revealed that the Biden administration earmarked $77.1 million in "environmental justice" grants to 20 recipients.
DOGE, as part of its sweep of government "waste," revealed that they are canceling $67.4 million of the unspent funds, the EPA confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Polymarket - DOGE Savings Tracker
Such is what is shown by the real-time tracker on Polymarket.
- It provides live updates on what costs DOGE has cut across federal agencies...
- The tracker shows not only the total value of the savings effected by DOGE and how much that totals per US taxpayer, but also the current value and ceiling value of each saving, such as the cost of subscriptions to paywalled news outlets like the Wall Street Journal and Politico, and more serious things such as DEI contracts and leases...
With Canada Facing Grueling Tariffs, Trudeau Prioritizes Ukraine in Trump Call
With Canada Facing Grueling Tariffs, Trudeau Prioritizes Ukraine in Trump Call:
Far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised the Ukrainian government $5 billion taken from seized Russian assets and several other forms of aid during a visit to Kyiv on Monday marking the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of that country.
The visit was preceded by a phone conversation between Trudeau and American President Donald Trump, who has prioritized brokering an end to the war with Russia directly. Notably, readouts and reports on the contents of that call published this weekend indicated that the topic of conversation was primarily Ukraine, rather than the Canada-U.S. relationship.

On Fridays the tee sheets are filled with the names of career civil service workers. Does your boss let you ‘work’ from the golf course?” - Ellis Robinson 
- “All federal employees must once again show up to work. is a new phenomena. you know, since covid show up to work in person, like the rest of us, it doesn’t work when you don’t show up,” Trump said.

- Calling out government employees for their remote work habits, Trump said, “They’re playing Tennis they’re playing golf or they have other jobs, but they’re not working, or they’re certainly not working hard, you could never build a company or a country with that. So we have a very strong policy and if they don’t show up to work, they get fired.”...

‘Deadlines’ and grades can be harmful to minorities, North Dakota State U. page says - Maddie Trulik - Boyce College 
- Minorities do best without “rigid rules,” “deadlines for assignments and exams,” and graded homework according to a since-deleted “diversity” page for North Dakota State University’s engineering department.

No, BBC, A Small Panamanian Island Is Not Drowning Due To Climate Change | ZeroHedge
The BBC’s recent article “Climate change: The Panama community that fled its drowning island,” claims that the island of Cartí Sugdupu in Panama is being swallowed by rising sea levels due to climate change. -Anthony Watts via WattsUpWithThat.com This is false.
The reality is that the island’s inhabitants are not being forced to relocate because of rising oceans, but due to overcrowding, poor infrastructure, and a lack of resources—issues that have nothing to do with climate change...
The reality is that the island’s inhabitants are not being forced to relocate because of rising oceans, but due to overcrowding, poor infrastructure, and a lack of resources—issues that have nothing to do with climate change...
The BBC’s report is misleading at best, deliberately deceptive at worst...
- Cartí Sugdupu is one of Panama’s San Blas Islands, home to the indigenous Guna people. The BBC’s article, painting a picture of climate-induced displacement, completely ignores the fact that the island is severely overcrowded, with more than 1,000 people packed into a tiny space of just 0.028 square miles. That’s a population density higher than New York City!
- The primary reason the residents are moving is not rising sea levels, but poor living conditions, lack of fresh water, and a shortage of space—issues that have been pressing for decades...

How Trans Ideology Took America by Storm
Nowhere has the destructive Left seen such success in so little time as on transgenderism, where acceptable opinion in America has reversed almost completely in just a few short years. - Ryan T. Anderson 
- President Trump’s Second Inaugural Address and day-one executive order “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” along with his subsequent executive orders “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” and “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” will mark the beginning of the end for gender ideology in the United States.
- But only the beginning. The gender ideologists won’t go away without a protracted fight, especially since they have captured so many of our institutions that are deeply embedded in American life.
- We should celebrate what President Trump has done, but we should also gear up for the long haul...
