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."
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...
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 
"They take care of people!" I tell Larson.
- 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."
"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...

White House official says Zelenskyy apologized to Trump, calls it 'progress' toward a deal | Blaze Media:
A special envoy of the Trump administration said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had apologized in a letter to President Donald Trump and called it "progress" toward a minerals deal.
Special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff told Fox News that Zelenskyy had reached out to make amends after an explosive disagreement between him, the president, and the vice president over a proposed minerals deal.
Since Democrats are in meltdown over the fired Inspectors General, remember that Norm Eisen fired IGs for clearly political reasons under Obama.
The Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service (AmeriCorps) Gerald Walpin was fired by Eisen after his tough oversight efforts to hold senior officials accountable for excusing a friend/Obama crony who mismanaged charter school funds and was sexually inappropriate towards students. 
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Finance Committee put out a 62 page report, “The Firing of the Inspector General for the CNCS,” outlined how Obama allies and Eisen were able to remove Walpin without a formal review.
- The White House Counsel’s Office withheld information from Congress and misled investigators after Rep. Issa and Sen. Grassley questioned the President’s methods and motives for removing Walpin.
- There was sizable evidence the removal was motivated by a desire to protect a friend and political ally of the President, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson...

Gavin Newsom to Charlie Kirk: 'Democratic Party Brand Has Just Been Crushed'
Gavin Newsom to Charlie Kirk: 'Democratic Party Brand Has Just Been Crushed':
Newsom was specifically referring to his unwillingness to agree with Kirk that men should not compete in women’s sports, arguing that for him it is a matter of “principle,” not politics.
“I deeply am mindful of the politics of this, which are very unhelpful personally, and unhelpful more broadly and professionally to the Democratic Party and our brand,” Newsom added. “The Democratic Party brand has just been crushed.”
Was Joe Biden’s Presidency One Long, Quiet Insurrection?
virtually every one was signed by an autopen rather than by the president’s own hand. - Andrew Shirley 
Late last week, the Oversight Project, an investigatory arm of the Heritage Foundation, revealed on X that a study of presidential documents from the Biden administration showed that virtually every one was signed by an autopen rather than by the president’s own hand.
“We gathered every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency,” the Oversight Project wrote.
“We gathered every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency,” the Oversight Project wrote.
“All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year.”
If the Oversight Project’s findings turn out to be accurate, it is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the scandal it would represent.

- It would raise the alarming possibility (which Republicans long warned of) that the country was effectively being run by unelected Biden aides rather than the duly-elected President of the United States – a soft coup d’état that should enrage every American voter, regardless of political affiliation...

The new Trump World Order puts freedom first A month ago, the Stockholm Sentinel tweeted with a video, “In 2018, Christoph Heusgen and German diplomats at the UN laughed when Trump said that green energy would make Germany totally reliant on Russia.
“Yesterday, Heusgen cried at the end of the Munich Security Conference about JD Vance’s speech on values.”...
The dummkopfs in Germany thought their windmills and solar thingies—bought with the money they didn’t spend on their military—would make them independent of coal, natural gas and other things that actually work.

The dummkopfs in Germany thought their windmills and solar thingies—bought with the money they didn’t spend on their military—would make them independent of coal, natural gas and other things that actually work.
- They did not notice that Red China, which makes the solar panels, doesn’t use them.
- Then the runners up in World War 2 got involved in the Ukraine War, sending in military stuff and imposing economic sanctions on Russia.
- Putin said fine and jacked up energy prices.
The price of electricity in German soared from 17 cents per kilowatt hour in April 2020 to $4.69 in August 2022. It is now $1.40—or 8 times what Germans once paid.

President Donald Trump has promised that he will bring back American manufacturing during his presidency.
- What if there aren’t enough Americans who want to work those jobs?
- “Every year for the last decade or so, for every five tradesmen who retire, two replace them,” says Mike Rowe, Emmy Award-winning TV host of the Dirty Jobs series.

'Wake me the [bleep] up': Potty-mouth Dems think swearing like drunken sailors will make Americans like them * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation
'Wake me the [bleep] up': Potty-mouth Dems think swearing like drunken sailors will make Americans like them * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Democratic members of Congress have upped their use of profanity in an effort to be more relatable to Americans, Politico reported Sunday.
The upsurge in swearing comes as Democrats face criticism for their conduct during President Donald Trump's address to Congress, when they remained seated and rarely applauded during Trump's address, even when Secret Service Director Sean Curran presented Devarjaye "D.J." Daniel, who is battling brain cancer, with credentials during the speech. One Democratic strategist told Politico that some of the increased use of profanity by Democrats was an affect, rather than being "authentic."
What??!!-----Tucker does Iran | Power Line
This past November, Erica Orden reported that “Iran ordered an operative to assassinate Trump before the election,
Last week Tucker Carlson released an interview with the prime minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
He seems to think the prime minister is a friend of the United States and that he is offering us valuable advice that has caused him to be taken down by “American media.”
If only.
Tucker may not have kept up with the news regarding Iranian operations in the United States. He puts the fact that Iran is a “sponsor of terror” in scare quotes. He assures us that Iran is not our problem.

Your job, your future, your humanity: AI just crossed the line we can never undo | Blaze Media:
AI isn’t a passing trend. It’s not a gadget or a convenience. It is the most powerful force humanity has ever created. And if you don’t take the time to understand it now, you will be at its mercy.
This is the defining moment of our time. Will you be a master of AI? Or will you be mastered by it? The choice is yours. But if you wait too long, you won’t have a choice at all.
Dr. Peter McCullough Links Bird Flu Outbreak To USDA Gain-Of-Function Experiment In Georgia | ZeroHedge
"This strain of bird flu is different... We're so sure of it that we've published this in a peer-reviewed paper … and it hasn't been disputed by any of the public health officials. We cite the USDA research." McCullough told Bigtree. - Tyler Durden
McCullough continued, "Serial passage is when a blend of viral strains is intentionally put in a mallard duck.
McCullough continued, "Serial passage is when a blend of viral strains is intentionally put in a mallard duck.
They were trying to see which strain would pass to other mallard ducks...
And indeed, they found CLADE 23446 that looked like it transmitted ... and sure enough, Athens was where the first cases were found."...
- He pointed out that USDA officials have generally used biosecurity measures such as "sterilizing the entire farm" to stop the spread, adding, "Well, that doesn't work because the mallard ducks would just continue to re-infect the farms."

- 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 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...
