DOGE Dimensions - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry

...the allure of centralized control—and punishment—that features in every true collectivist’s dreams... - Michael Smith 

There’s one aspect of the DOGE efforts I’ve overlooked as it begins to expose the crazy and uncontrolled spending of domestic agencies and programs: the allure of centralized control—and punishment—that features in every true collectivist’s dreams...

• National Parents Union (NPU), a leftist “educational” non-profit group. NPU tweeted: “Before the @usedgov’s creation, states routinely denied education to students who were blind, deaf, or developmentally delayed. Today, MA receives over $350 million in IDEA funding annually to support students with disabilities, says @radiokeri.”
• Corey DeAngeles replied: “Straw man. The bill to abolish the Department of Education moves special needs programs to the Department of Health and Human Services.”
• @radiokeri (Keri Rodrigues, founder of National Parents and the National Parents Union Action Fund) shot back: “We’re not talking about funding. We’re talking about oversight. The states do a notoriously terrible job on this.”

The funding is secured in the bill to abolish the Department of Education, it just flows from a different source to the states. 

• The real fight is over who controls and enforces it. 

He who pays the piper calls the tune and with federal control via the Department of Education, the left could dictate nationwide policy with a single edict, leaving parents voiceless...

Big talk, tiny stick! Dem Walz lies again!-----Ontario slaps 25% tax increase on electricity exports to US in response to Trump's trade war

Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan. 

• Trump Tariffs© Jill Colvin - “The first victims of Trump’s Trade war? Minnesotans struggling to pay their skyrocketing electric bill,” Walz tweeted with a link to a story about Ontario’s move. “Minnesotans cannot afford Trump’s billionaire-run economy. We have to put a stop to this madness.”
• But Minnesota Power, the main electrical utility serving the part of Minnesota that borders Ontario, gets only a “very small” proportion of its power from the province, company spokesperson Amy Rutledge said...While it gets about 11% of its power supply from Manitoba Hydro, she said, that’s not affected by Ontario’s announcement. Trump© Luis M. Alvarez - “We really expect any impact on our customers to be negligible,” Rutledge said.
• Midcontinent Independent System Operator — the organization that manages a regional power grid that stretches from Manitoba to Minnesota to Louisiana — also expects little effect, spokesman Brandon Morris said. MISO gets under half its power from Canada, and less than half of that comes from Ontario, he said...

Yet, they believe Biden is "at the top of his game". And honest too!

Mark Levin ROASTS Jane Fonda's radical leftist SAG awards speech | Blaze Media: 

“What is coming at us that you need to resist?” Levin asks. “You’ve had such a tough life as a multimillionaire in Hollywood.”

“She's part of the resistance. And what is she resisting this time? The American people,” he mocks. “I guess she likes fraud and bloat in the federal government. I guess that's okay with her.”

Levin recalls Fonda’s earlier days when she “backed the communists who were killing American troops in Vietnam” in 1972.

The Myth of Daylight Saving Time? Ed Morrissey

It's not a 50-50 issue; it's more like a 33-33-33 issue.

Many people are tired of clock shifting, but they're split as to whether to remain on Standard Time or DST permanently. 

And some people see this as a state issue rather than a federal issue, despite the fact that it clearly implicates interstate commerce to some degree.
However, there are plenty of Americans who support the status quo as well...
One reason for it being a bigger priority is that DST doesn't actually deliver on the energy savings that justified its imposition in the first place...

You've Got to Be Kidding Me: DOGE Uncovers Hundreds of Millions in SBA Loans… to Children By Bob Hoge

And oh, what waste and fraud they’ve found, from our funding of jihadists and extreme social justice programs overseas through USAID to the discovery of $1.9 billion that Biden’s Housing and Urban Development Department “misplaced.”
We all knew that there was plenty of funny business going on, but some of what DOGE has found has been truly jaw-dropping.
It doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop either, as DOGE announced on Saturday night that the Small Business Administration had loaned hundreds of millions of dollars to small enterprises during the COVID pandemic. Sounds fine, right?

• Except for the fact that the business owners in these cases were all 11 years old or younger:

The CDC has hidden all of this for decades. DECADES.

Children have suffered unnecessarily while the CDC, big pharma and medical establishment profited.

You dont hate them enough…

We owe an incredibly huge thank you to RFK Jr. and his organization The Children’s Health Defense for fighting the establishment. The fact that any of these vaccines are still being used to this day is an evil unfathomable crime.

Must read!!-----Top 20 Arabella Network Revelations: A Tax-Exempt Political Leviathan

The Tax-Exempt Puppeteers Pulling America's Political Strings - Doug Ross

In an era when most Americans struggle to understand why their $50 political donations barely make a dent, a sprawling network of tax-exempt organizations has built a political Death Star hiding in plain sight. 

Arabella Advisors, through its nonprofit subsidiaries, has constructed the most powerful political machine in American history—operating with billions in "dark money" while exploiting the very tax code everyday citizens fund.
The following are 20 revelations exposing not just the scale of this operation, but the breathtaking cynicism with which it manipulates public opinion, election outcomes, and policy decisions while masquerading as charitable work.

• Billions in "Dark Money" Outpacing Political Parties - Arabella's network raised $2.4 billion in the 2020 election cycle, dwarfing both major political parties combined. Could they BE any more secretive with money that makes traditional political spending look like what I found between my couch cushions?
• Fake Grassroots "Pop-Ups" Everywhere - The Sixteen Thirty Fund creates temporary "grassroots" organizations that vanish after completing specific missions. These tax-exempt fronts manipulate public opinion while masquerading as local movements.
• Funding Supreme Court Protests - Demand Justice spent millions opposing Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation with aggressive campaigns funded through tax-exempt channels. So basically, they're using YOUR tax dollars to throw temper tantrums outside the Supreme Court... could that BE any more ironic?...

Jason Jacoby - So after questioning what's happening in Ukraine,... | Facebook

If the war in Ukraine had crucial strategic value, if Ukraine was an ally or traditional friend, if I felt fighting to the end would stabilize the world, I'd say keep going - Jason Jacoby 

Yet my greatest desire at this point is put American focus where it needs to be: China. 

• China now has more of everything militarily than the US, except nukes. 
• And how many hits does it need to take us out? 
• They're launching 2 ships a month... 2.

I want Ukraine to survive. 

I use Finland and the winter war as the model. 

The time for a favorable ceasefire is slipping past... 

• What happens if Ukraine wins? We maybe have a buffer but a trigger spot for NATO. What happens if Putin wins? We have a trigger spot next to NATO.
• How much treasure and blood is this worth? 

If I thought any of this would deter China, give it pause for thought, I'd say let's consider. 

But it's not..
Peace is possible and possibly long term...look at Finland.
