About 75,000 federal workers have abandoned ship and decided to accept President Trump’s deferred buyout after a federal judge lifted a temporary freeze on the offer.
The buyout was just one of many approaches Trump and Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency have taken to dismantle bloated bureaucracies and slash a civilian workforce of 2.3 million.
Officials have been told that some agencies can see up to 70% of their staff cut.
The deferred buyout program promised employees their salaries and benefits until October if they leave immediately.
A union which represents hundreds of thousands of federal workers sued last week to stop the deal. But a Massachusetts judge ruled the unions lack standing to challenge the directive.
He also warned federal agencies to prepare for wide-ranging job cuts, and several departments have begun to lay off recent hires who lack full job security.
Conservatives despise Big Government because control is always seized by bad actors who then cook the books, steal, and cheat wherever they can. What’s worse is as their power grows, they become more and more oppressive and violent. Consider the persecution of J6 attendees, Biden admin disregard for human trafficking and fentanyl at the border, their manifest willingness to cheat in elections. History proves the left is always more dangerous than the right, which at worst is typically a reaction to an over-the-top leftist regime or threat. ABN
A 19-year-old DOGE worker and ‘acolyte’ of Elon Musk known online as ‘Big Balls’ has been elevated to a new role at the State Department, eliciting fury from some within the agency.
‘Big Balls,’ whose real name is Edward Coristine, first made headlines when he was identified as one of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) prodigies working to slash government waste.
Coristine, along with a gang of other young men aged 25 and below, have been credited with analyzing the data of major federal agencies to streamline workflows, identify wasteful spending, and recommend changes to DOGE leadership.
Now, the Washington Post reports that Coristine has been tapped to become a ‘senior adviser’ at the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Technology.
This new position is in addition to the 19-year-old’s current roles at DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management.
The bureau serves as the IT hub for the entire State Department and it maintains the data and communications coming in from U.S. diplomatic outposts around the world.
Sec. 4. Refugee Resettlement and Other Humanitarian Considerations. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate steps, consistent with law, to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination. Such plan shall be submitted to the President through the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor.
While I do agree with this EO because they are in grave danger, below is another take on the subject. Readers can and will decide for themselves how to understand this. There are surely three or four very important other ways to see this. ABN
It is true that not only is the West deeply infiltrated and largely, if not totally, controlled from within by parasites who hate it, but also the West is retreating from one place after another. ABN
President Donald Trump has decided to remove security clearances for several Democrats, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom are vocal Trump critics.
Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen.
The move comes a day after Trump stripped his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, of his security clearance and his access to presidential daily briefs.
Trump established a similar office at the White House during his first term and regularly consulted with a tight group of evangelical advisers.
But the move sparked fury from Christian leaders who believe that White, a megachurch pastor from Florida, preaches an interpretation of the gospel that critics argue exploits the most vulnerable.
White teaches followers that God will reward them if they donate to her church, going as far as to suggest precise sums over a thousand dollars to ensure their ‘salvation’.
‘This is an abomination,’ wrote Christian motivational speaker Scott Ross on X.
‘She preaches the heresies of Word of Faith & Prosperity Gospel, both utterly opposed to authentic Christianity. Worse, she has lived a life of scandal, with multiple husbands, twisting the Gospel for profit.’
The teachings of the minister, who is married to rockstar and Journey lead singer Jonathan Cain, have nevertheless rubbed off on Trump who first contacted her by phone in 2002 after watching one of her TV shows.
If you thought the USAID revelations were alarming sunlight, just wait until you see the apoplectic fits of rage about to come out from the Democrats, the DNC affiliated community activist groups, and the professional leftists who all rely upon the financial mechanism of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
According to a Politico article (also funded by USAID money), written with stunning amount of anger and apoplexy itself, Elon Musk’s DOGE team has just entered the CFPB to do a review and audit. This one is going to be beyond bananas.
Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, tell Ma, to fire up the coffee pot, we are in for a delicious treat. There’s no way for the DC outrage machine to handle this dose of Trumpian nitrous oxide directly into the intake manifold. The machine will explode.
BACKGROUND FIRST– The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) was originally created by congress (Elizabeth Warren lead) as a quasi-constitutional watchdog agency to reach into the banking and financial system, under the guise of oversight, and extract money by fining entities for CFPB defined regulatory and/or compliance violations
Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector. The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren as an outcome of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Within the CFPB Warren tried to set up the head of the agency, the Director, in a manner that that he/she would operate without oversight. Unfortunately, her dictatorial-fiat-design collapsed when challenged in court. Backstory #1 – Backstory #2
A federal court found the CFPB Director position held too much power and deemed it unconstitutional. The court decision noted that giving the President power to fire the Director would fix the constitutional problem. This issue was argued extensively after President Trump appointed Mick Mulvaney as interim Director. Elizabeth Warren declaring the CFPB Director could not be fired by the executive. The legal battle worked its way to the Supreme Court.
