Highway to hell: Mass influx of foreign-born truckers cause carnage on American roads | Blaze Media

Highway to hell: Mass influx of foreign-born truckers cause carnage on American roads | Blaze Media: 

The hundreds of thousands of cheap, poorly trained drivers imported under Biden serve one purpose: to depress wages for Americans.

The American trucking industry today is in trouble. Wages have flatlined for decades, while deadly accidents have steadily increased. Both of these trends share the same root cause: the massive influx of cheap, poorly trained, foreign-born drivers.

It didn’t have to be this way....

Shocking New Study Reveals 'Staggering' Amount of Taxpayer Money Spent by Biden on DEI Insanity By Mike Miller

So how staggering? Staggering to the tune of more than one trillion taxpayer dollars. 
Here's more:

The study, conducted by the Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America, identified 460 programs across 24 government agencies in the Biden administration that diverted resources to DEI initiatives.

At least $1 trillion of taxpayer money was infused with DEI principles, the study states.

The study lays out DEI infusion across several federal agencies, including the Defense Department's plan to "integrate environmental/economic justice tools" into training, FEMA’s need to "instill equity as a foundation of emergency management," and the Labor Department's push to "embed equity in a sustainable manner that recognizes the multiple and overlapping identities held by workers."

Surely we can't blame all that on Biden, right? Heck yeah, we can.
On his first day in office, Biden signed Executive Order 13985, which was aimed at carrying out the goal of "advancing equity and racial justice through the federal government."
In other words, priorities — Democrat-style...

'Where's the handcuffs?' Rubio says THOUSANDS of USAID contracts now canceled * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Where's the handcuffs?' Rubio says THOUSANDS of USAID contracts now canceled * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Rubio announced, "After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID. The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States. In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department. Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform."

Great site!-----FACT CHECK: President Trump Will Always Protect Social Security, Medicare The White House March 11, 2025

The Trump Administration will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits. President Trump himself has said it (over and over and over again).

Elon Musk didn’t say that, either. The press is lying again.

• Here is Musk’s direct quote: “The waste and fraud in entitlement spending — which is most of the federal spending is entitlements — so, that’s, like, the big one to eliminate. That’s the, sort of half-trillion, maybe $6-700 billion a year.”

And he’s exactly right.

• FACT: The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates taxpayers lose as much as $521 billion annually to fraud — and most of that is within entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
• FACT: Over the past two decades, the federal government has made an estimated $2.7 trillion in “improper payments” — the majority of which come in the form of “payments to deceased individuals or those who no longer [are] eligible for government programs.”
• FACT: The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022.
• FACT: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimated it made $140+ billion in improper payments in 2024 alone.

What kind of a person doesn’t support eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that ultimately costs taxpayers more?

Very Interesting: SWC--Autopen DoJ Pardon Attorney Firing = Investigation

Very Interesting: SWC--Autopen DoJ Pardon Attorney Firing = Investigation - Mark  

I’m sure readers have seen the stories over the past week or more about the discovery that virtually all White House docs were not signed by Zhou—they were signed by a machine, an autopen machine. Naturally that discovery has led to speculation about the validity of such “signatures,” the identity of the person(s) operating the machine, whether Zhou had knowledge of all, most, or only a few of the docs that were executed in this manner...

Shipwreckedcrew has written an article for Red State that raises a very specific issue with regard to the autopen ops, in combination with the final Zhou pardons. 

Of course, there’s the issue of whether pardons signed in this manner are even valid. 

• However, a very recent firing raises that issue more sharply, and that is the firing of the DoJ Pardon Attorney, Liz Oyer, who was in charge of the pardon process. 
• Specifically, the manner of the firing suggests that DoJ was anxious to prevent Oyer from destroying evidence, which would only be the case if there was an active investigation:

But there was a noteworthy aspect of her dismissal that was reported by the Wall Street Journal the day after her firing – she was immediately escorted from the building by security.

This is done when there is an ongoing investigation that the individual is likely unaware of, and those conducting the investigation want to preserve all electronic records that might be available on a computer and cell phone. Asking her to leave immediately prevents any attempt to delete such records.

There’s more in the article. If this interests you, follow the link.

ICE deports illegal immigrant wanted for human smuggling that led to the deaths of 3 minors | Blaze Media: 

"The return of this fugitive to the Dominican Republic is a prime example of how ICE works closely with our international law enforcement partners to identify, locate, and remove criminal aliens who are wanted in their country for allegedly committing crimes," said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Miami acting Field Office Director Juan Lopez Vega. "ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of criminal alien fugitives. As a result, our communities are safer and more secure."

Teachers' union boss Randi Weingarten gets annihilated on social media for hysterical meltdown: 'I'm really angry!' | Blaze Media

Teachers' union boss Randi Weingarten gets annihilated on social media for hysterical meltdown: 'I'm really angry!' | Blaze Media: 

"A reminder that Randi Weingarten vigorously opposed reopening schools during COVID. Her union made absurd demands that had nothing to do with the virus, like canceling teachers' student loans. And now she wants us all to forget. I can't imagine a worse surrogate for her cause," replied Billy Binion of Reason. "It is difficult to think of someone who's done more to discredit teachers unions than Randi Weingarten herself," he added. "She took a monopoly on a public good & weaponized it against the people she was supposed to be serving: kids. She's a case study in why public unions need to go."

Who allowed this to happen??!!

 

MUSK: DOGE Will Cut $1 TRILLION in Spending 'Unless We’re Stopped.' - Stephen Green

Savings generated by DOGE during the first two months of Trump 47 "exceed $4 billion per day," Musk told Fox News on Monday afternoon. - Stephen Green 

In the last seven-plus weeks, DOGE has exceeded its seemingly impossible goal, though only barely. 

This is maybe the best news you'll read all week, even though the legacy dinosaur media insists that it's all doom and gloom and starving uneducated children who can no longer get their nads hacked off at taxpayer expense...

But she's just fine with crooked IRS and Chinese agents poking around??!!

 

The Death of Europe

Years ago, America's economy grew neck and neck with the European Union's. Then, about 15 years ago, Europe stopped growing. - John Stossel 

• Today, the USA is 50% richer -- even though the European Union has 100 million more people.
• Europe is kind of like a big museum. 

In Sweden, he says, "Average workers pay (a higher percentage of) taxes than you do if you make $400,000 here in the United States."

• But at least their health care is free.
• "No!" he replies. "You get the right to free health care, but whether you get health care is a different story. I have friends who died in the Swedish health care system because they couldn't get treatment in time."

Still, Europe offers generous welfare benefits.
"They take care of people!" I tell Larson.

• "But it also entraps you," he says. "People get stuck in low-end jobs. They don't start businesses like we do."...

VA Secretary Doug Collins: We Saved 'Roughly $900 Million After Reviewing Just 2% of Contracts

“...The days of kicking the can down the road and measuring VA’s progress by how much money it spends and how many people it employs, rather than how many veterans it helps, are over,” he said, providing one example of what they are doing differently. -Hannah Knudsen

“VA will always fulfill its duty to provide veterans, families, caregivers and survivors the health care and benefits they have earned. That’s a promise, and while we conduct our review, VA will continue to hire for more than 300,000 mission critical positions to ensure health care and benefits for VA beneficiaries are not impacted,” he said, discussing the department’s goal of reducing the number of VA employees.

“Here’s just one example. We’re conducting a comprehensive review of the VA’s 90,000 contracts, which are worth more than $67 billion,” she said, revealing that after reviewing just two percent of these Veterans Affairs contracts, they were able to cancel “nearly 600 non-mission critical or duplicative agreements that will save the department roughly $900 million.”

• “Just imagine how much more we’ll be able to save after we review the rest of [the] VA contracts...
