Hardly, it’s a ‘eff you don’t need to know.

The second a figurehead is named they’ll be in front of a judge the same day. Normally they would be dragged into a congressional hearing but the Republicans are a complicit party to the arson and are terrified of their constituents and Musk.

This is really messed up.

The market is up this morning but tariffs are coming

Aluminum producer Alcoa said on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s plan to impose a tariff on aluminum imports could cost about 100,000 US jobs and would itself not be enough to entice it to boost production in the country.

The tariff is set to take effect March 4.
Energy is a major cost in production of aluminum and Canadian hydro is cheap
That’s why lots of aluminum is processed from ore in Canada

In today’s episode of “Destroying the United States Government”:

The Trump administration sets the stage for large-scale federal worker layoffs in a new memo.
Wants to cut it to government shutdown levels, only “essential workers”.

Here’s what happened to the economy last time we had a shutdown, permanent would be exponentially worse
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the 2018-2019 shutdown cost the U.S. economy $11 billion, mainly due to federal workers reducing their spending in response to lost pay. Notably, this decrease in spending may not rebound even after workers receive their back pay.

The 2018-2019 shutdown delayed over $2 billion in loans to small businesses since the SBA was unable to make new loans.

USDA Invests Up To $1 Billion to Combat Avian Flu and Reduce Egg Prices. Washington, D.C., Feb. 26, 2025—U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins today announced a $1 billion-dollar comprehensive strategy to curb highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), protect the U.S. poultry industry, and lower egg prices


this is the strategy. spend spend and spend some more claiming the money will come from DOGE savings :bs:

The plan includes $500 million to upgrade biosecurity at poultry farms as well as bailing out farmers. $400 million in financial relief to farmers whose flocks have been decimated by the flu.The department will also explore more egg imports to help lower consumer prices, potential vaccines for laying hens a dismantling of regulations that Rollins said place an undue burden on egg producers.

just saw this from Trump and Musks cabinet meeting

The emails sparked confusion among federal workers and apparent tension among members of Trump's Cabinet, some of whom told their workers not to immediately respond to it. At the Cabinet meeting, Trump told reporters that "everyone at this table is very much behind it."

Trump invited Cabinet members to speak up to express any dissatisfaction with Musk but quickly added "we'll throw them out" if they actually spoke up, eliciting laughter in the room.

These morons laughing with the Dear Leader. they all clearly understood it was no Joke

All they’ve done is push undocumented people further underground. Nobody of sound mind is going to show up to check in with ICE or their parole board knowing it’s really just a detainment ruse.

Today Trump is sending detainees, most of which have committed no sin other than a civil violation, to GTMO where they are held without representation and treated like terror suspects.

This mass deportation initiative is a farce, but it is cruel if that’s your thing.

I have an example of a FB post from someone I served with . a 30 year veteran. this is the level of delusion is beyond explanation . this is how dangerous MAGA movement is and many who support Trump without question.

But yet He believes every single word he has Written. this in response to the tragic helicopter airliner Potomac

Because everybody that was in that bird was already dead and strapped into their seats. That was remotely flown into that American Airline plane. We need to get our hands on the manifest and find out who exactly was on that plane that they wanted to get rid of. It was a whistleblower somebody that knew too much or was about to drop a bombshell of information.


this was one of a daily barrage from Anti Vaccine to cloud seeding to attacks on the usual Democrats Soros. and the rest were unwavering support Of donald and his current assault on the Federal government.

Is this guy stupid or what?

US President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware of Australia's $368billion military pact with the United States when a journalist questioned him about the deal.

When asked by a British reporter ahead of a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House whether the two leaders would be discussing AUKUS, Mr Trump responded 'what does that mean?'

When the reporter described it as a three-way defense technology partnership between the US, the UK and Australia, Trump agreed it was on the agenda.

When Australia confirmed its first $800million payment under the deal earlier this month, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said Trump was both supportive and 'very aware' of the deal.

'We'll be discussing that. We have another great relationship, and you have too, with Australia.

'Yeah, we've had a very good relationship with Australia.'

Technically he didn’t put 50m in Trump’s pocket as Trump would only see the transaction fees.

That being said it looks ridiculously illegal and unethical.

A $131 million grant to UNICEF’s polio immunization program, which paid for planning, logistics and delivery of vaccines to millions of children.

A $90 million contract with the company Chemonics for bed nets, malaria tests and treatments that would have protected 53 million people.

A project in the Democratic Republic of Congo that operates the only source of water for 250,000 people in camps for displaced people located in the center of the violent conflict in the east of the country.

All of the operating costs and 10 percent of the drug budget of the Global Drug Facility, the main supply channel for tuberculosis medications, which last year provided tuberculosis treatment to nearly three million people, including 300,000 children.

H.I.V. care and treatment projects run by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation that were providing lifesaving medication to 350,000 people in Lesotho, Tanzania and Eswatini, including 10,000 children and 10,000 pregnant women who were receiving care so that they would not transmit the virus to their babies at birth.

A project in Uganda to trace contacts of people with Ebola, conduct surveillance and bury those who died from the virus.

A contract to manage and distribute $34 million worth of medical supplies in Kenya, including 2.5 million monthlong H.I.V. treatments, 750,000 H.I.V. tests, 500,000 malaria treatments, 6.5 million malaria tests and 315,000 antimalaria bed nets.

Eighty-seven shelters that took care of 33,000 women who were victims of rape and domestic violence in South Africa.

A project run by FHI 360 that supported community health workers’ efforts to go door-to-door seeking malnourished children in Yemen. It recently found that one in five children was critically underweight because of the country’s civil war.

Pre- and postnatal health services for 3.9 million children and 5.7 million women in Nepal.

A project run by Helen Keller Intl in six countries in West Africa that last year provided more than 35 million people with the medicine to prevent and treat neglected tropical diseases, such as trachoma, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis.

A project in Nigeria providing 5.6 million children and 1.7 million women with treatment for severe and acute malnutrition. The termination means 77 health facilities have completely stopped treating children with severe acute malnutrition, putting 60,000 children under the age of 5 at immediate risk of death.

A project in Sudan that runs the only operational health clinics in one of the biggest areas of the Kordofan region, cutting off all health services.

A project serving more than 144,000 people in Bangladesh that provided food for malnourished pregnant women and vitamin A to children.

A program run by the aid agency PATH, called REACH Malaria, which protected more than 20 million people in 10 countries in Africa from the disease. It provided malaria drugs to children at the start of the rainy season.

A project run by Plan International that provided drugs and other medical supplies, health care, treatment of malnutrition programming, and water and sanitation for 115,000 displaced or affected by the conflict in northern Ethiopia.

More than $80 million for UNAIDS, the United Nations agency, which funded work to help countries improve H.I.V. treatment, including data collection and watchdog programs for service delivery.

The President’s Malaria Initiative program called Evolve, which did mosquito control in 21 countries by methods that include spraying insecticide inside homes (protecting 12.5 million people last year) and treating breeding sites to kill larvae.

A project providing H.I.V. and tuberculosis treatment to 46,000 people in Uganda, run by the Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation, Uganda.

Smart4TB, the main research consortium working on prevention, diagnostics and treatment for tuberculosis.

The Demographic and Health Surveys, a data collection project in 90 countries that were crucial and sometimes the only sources of information on maternal and child health and mortality, nutrition, reproductive health and H.I.V. infections, among many other health indicators. The project was also the bedrock of budgets and planning.

President Donald Trump’s administration has begun terminating grants to organizations that enforce the Fair Housing Act by taking complaints, investigating and litigating housing discrimination cases for Americans across the country, according to a document and information obtained by The Associated Press on Friday.

The grants are disbursed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to private nonprofits, which act as the frontline enforcement of the federal anti-discrimination law. They educate communities on their rights, test whether a landlord is racially discriminating, investigate complaints, resolve disputes and can fund legal counsel.

Let's bring back discrimination and Make America Great Again!

It’s not just Ukraine that owes America back pay, all those minorities who benefited from anti-discrimination policy are about to get what they’ve got a commin!

This speaks for itself
March 1, 2025

A letter to the American People:

For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving you to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.

However, all employees at 18F – a group that the Trump Administration GSA Technology Transformation Services Director called "the gold standard" of civic tech – were terminated today at midnight ET.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated.

When former Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd took the position of TTS director and met with TTS including 18F on February 3, 2025, he acknowledged that the group is the “gold standard” of civic technologists and that “you guys have been doing this far longer than I’ve been even aware that your group exists.” He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work, and the value of the talent that the teams bring to government.

Despite that skill and knowledge, at midnight ET on March 1, the entirety of 18F received notice that our positions had been eliminated.

The letter said that 18F "has been identified as part of this phase of GSA’s Reduction in Force (RIF) as non-critical”.

"This decision was made with explicit direction from the top levels of leadership within both the Administration and GSA," Shedd said in an email shortly after we were given notice.

This was a surprise to all 18F staff and our agency partners. Just yesterday we were working on important projects, including improving access to weather data with NOAA, making it easier and faster to get a passport with the Department of State, supporting free tax filing with the IRS, and other critical projects with organizations at the federal and state levels.

All of that work has now abruptly come to a halt. Since the entire staff was also placed on administrative leave, we have been locked out of our computers, and have no chance to assist in an orderly transition in our work. We don’t even have access to our personal employment data. We’re supposed to return our equipment, but can’t use our email to find out how or where.

Dismantling 18F follows the gutting of the original US Digital Service. These cuts are just the most recent in a series of a sledgehammer approach to the critical US teams supporting IT infrastructure.

Before today’s RIF, DOGE members and GSA political appointees demanded and took access to IT systems that hold sensitive information. They ignored security precautions. Some who pushed back on this questionable behavior resigned rather than grant access. Others were met with reprisals like being booted from work communication channels.

We’re not done yet.

We’re still absorbing what has happened. We’re wrestling with what it will mean for ourselves and our families, as well as the impact on our partners and the American people.

But we came to the government to fix things. And we’re not done with this work yet.

More to come.

Let’s look at 3 of Trump deals while he was in office.

Remarks by President Trump on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement 2018. It is my great honor to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations on a brand new deal to terminate and replace NAFTA and the NAFTA trade agreements with an incredible new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, called “USMCA.” It, sort of, just works: USMCA But now this deal sucks.

Trumps deal with the Taliban Doha Accord, The US agreed to an initial reduction of its force level from 13,000 to 8,600 within 135 days (i.e. by July 2020). The United States also committed to closing five military bases within 135 days, and expressed its intent to end economic sanctions on the Taliban by August 27, 2020. The United States would release 5,000 Taliban prisoners Critics of the deal claimed that the then Trump administration appeased the Taliban and ignored the then Afghan government Common theme the Afghan government was left out the peace talks

And currently. Trump is giving away the store to Putin . Releasing prisoners saying nice this to Putin. Publicly stopping US cyber activity DOJ no longer looking at Russian sanctions violation’s cabinet members refusing to acknowledge Russia invade Ukraine. The deputy defense secretary in a hearing refused to say Russia invade. He claimed he didn’t have the information. And openly attacking Zelenskyy and left out of the peace talks

It’s a clear pattern Trump isn’t concerned with what come after his deals. Or fixing things or making peace. .. so he looks good. And yet he has completely convinced much of American he is doing it for god and country. And they believe it!

Maybe he should lead from the front. He can start here .. stop working from home ..

During the Trump Pence administration, Pence took a vacation on a lake in Vermont.
Hardly any reaction here in Vermont.
Vance isn’t Pence and the sequel as usual is far worse than the original.
I think there’s a ski area for Vance that would be happy to see him.
Masikryong Ski Resort, he could ski with FFOTUS’ good friend Kim Jong Un

Just saw Bill o’Reilly claiming Trumps doesn’t care about Putin. That he just buttering him up. To get him to the negotiating table.

I think bill has confused Putin’s needs with Trumps demands of praise

Kremlin spokesman says Russia's and
US foreign policies are in alignment
With a thaw in U.S.-Russia relations, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the "foreign policy" alignment of the U.S. administration largely mirrors that of Moscow.
"The new (U.S.) administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision," Peskov said, according to a post by state TV reporter Pavel Zarubin on Sunday on the Telegram channel.
Peskov spoke on Wednesday, before the Zelenskyy-Trump blowout on Friday.
His remarks were seen as a follow-up on the U.S. splitting with its European allies by refusing to blame Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. In the U.N. General Assembly last week, the U.S. joined Russia in voting against a Europe-backed Ukrainian resolution that calls out Moscow's aggression and demands an immediate withdrawal of Russian troops.
Ties between Moscow and Washington had plummeted to their lowest levels since the Cold War after Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and invaded Ukraine in 2022.

I actually used to watch Bill O’Rilley every night back in the 2000’s when he had some relevance.

Putin only knows strength. Trump parroting Kremlin talking points, calling Zelinsky a dictator, blaming Ukraine for starting the war, telling Zelinsky the person bombing your hospitals and schools and reneged on previous deals should be given the benefit of doubt, pulling military support, undermining NATO, Hesgeth giving away their negotiating position, stopping Russian cyber operations, shutting down investigations into election interference and sanctions violations and on and on…

All undermine any chance of a real negotiation. Rubio this morning looked like a ball washing fool. When you accept that Trump is not on the side of democracy it all makes sense actually.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says that Russia's President Vladimir Putin should be the "leader of the free world."

If anyone thinks that Russia will stop at Ukraine, they're delusional.

If anyone thinks that Putin respects Donald Trump, they're also delusional.

A little history
HITLER ASSURES POLAND.
Says on Anniversary of Amity
Pact Friendship Will Endure.
Wireless to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
WARSAW, Jan. 25.-The official Gazeta Polska will celebrate the first anniversary of the Polish-Ger-man non-aggression declaration tomorrow by publishing, an interview. through its Berlin correspondents with Chancellor Hitler, who expresses satisfaction that the first twelve months have fully justified the new Polish-German relations.
Herr Hitler says the two governments have succeeded in correcting one of the most dangerous historical and political errors-namely, that Poland and Germany. could never be friendly neighbors. The whole world now sees clearly, he states, that these two countries can cooperate for their own welfare as well as for that of Europe. The German Chancellor says he and. other National Socialist leaders believe such cooperation will develop into a lasting friendship.
Herr Hitler also remarks that the National Socialist régime will not repeat past blunders and that it aims to be friendly with all nations, particularly those surrounding Ger-many.

We should worry about migrant rape gangs, says FFOTUS who just pressured Romania to free the Tate brothers so they could return to the U.S.
The UK is considering submitting an extradition request to the US for the Tate brothers, according to reports.

Andrew, 38, and his brother Tristan, 36, flew to Florida by private jet from Romania on Thursday, where they are under investigation for sex trafficking.

The siblings credited US president Donald Trump for “feeling safe” upon their return to the US, despite Mr Trump claiming he knew nothing about them.

British home secretary Yvette Cooper is exploring legal options to extradite the pair to the UK, where they also face rape and human trafficking charges, The Daily Telegraph reported.

It comes after Florida governor Ron DeSantis said the pair were not welcome in his state and lawyers were looking at “dealing” with their arrival.

“Florida is not a place where you're welcome with that type of conduct,” he said. “Our attorney general is looking into what jurisdictions we have to deal with this.”

After the SOTU it must be exciting for our military to learn that they may be going to war against NATO (Canada, Denmark) while helping Russia take Ukraine. Exactly what they signed up for!
