cococandy:Nah, I predict people like you will face loss of self confidence in a few months time. You will question why you believed fairy tales from the criminal democrats. I trust that you are emotionally mature to handle the realization that they been doing g a number on you. |
Biden judge poised to reverse transgender Executive Order in the military. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=118927094 With the DOD policy expected to be finalized over the coming week, Reyes said she would hold off on issuing an order but had largely made up her mind about the legality of the order, at one point remarking that “smarter people on the D.C. Circuit would have to tell me I’m wrong” about the policy . She added that the central premise of the executive order -- that only two genders exist -- is “not biologically correct.” Reyes also Judges are legislating from the bench. |
Global warming caused by using fossil fuels and cow farts . https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/18/weather/frigid-cold-us-flooding-tuesday-hnk/index.html Temperatures will plunge as much as 50 degrees below February averages, threatening to break more than 270 temperature records across at least 27 states |
Livelystone01:I used to think highly of Russia military. I doubt they can beat say Britain if from day one no nukes and both obey rules of war. Britain or other western armies would by now have complete air superiority, anti aircraft radars would have been taken out, every Russian position would have been bombed out by now. Russia has been fighting for months to take over some villages. Both armies are clearly identifiable , unlike fighting insurgents hiding within civilian positions in urban areas. |
grandstar:We can argue Biden reason for being installed was to make America poorer and just another country. A poor people are easily controlled by govt being everything. Providing food, shelter and clothing almost literally. Govt dictating everything including where to live, school,how much air travel, health care etc. A subservient population is good for globalists |
cococandy:He is the head , his role is advisory. You should read a book called Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol .Or watch the play . Today auditors don't come into an org to catch thieves . They analyse systems, procedures and policies vs a best practices benchmark. They will catch fraud because they sample a good number of transactions but that's not their main reason. Experienced auditors can smell fraud from across the Atlantic. . Their report will usually lead to a forensic audit. Elon and his group are auditing. At the end of the day , data doesn't lie.Theirs is essentially a forensic audit. |
IjeBos:You think we are stupid? You are justifying why immigration especially illegal is important and redefining inflation. Inflation. Too much money in circulation chasing too few goods We can say if govt issued a mandate that everyone has to shave his hair and beards every 2 days , the cost of shaving would increase causing inflation. Take your BS elsewhere. |
cococandy:DOGE is playing an advisory . Elon is not being paid, initially he tweeted he needed volunteers with a high IQ and skills before the inaugration. But DOGE is a fully established body with it's own staff and mandated to look into govt IT systems . It's just USDS rebranded and repurposed to catch and prevent waste. That's my understanding,. |
Android17:Everything must be blamed on Trump policies, whether it's the slightest reason his name must be sullied. |
cococandy:Doesn't matter , he is not the one doing the firing and contract cancellation. His team has the required skills to ferret out where your tax dollars are being diverted to, you should thank him and kiss the ground he is walking on |
grandstar:Okay I'll take your position as the gospel truth. Now me knows govt spending recklessly has no effect on inflation, farm labor shortage is the key driver. I'm now wiser |
Android17:We are on the same page. Democrats are the modern day prophets. They can read Trump's mind and foretell the days of gloom and doom ahead. |
bemeruca:Shut up . You don't live in America. ![]() |
IjeBos:Who didn't know that, maybe you. He is recommending actions not issuing any orders. Do you live in America. He recommends DHS to fire , then Noem fires. Rocket science |
grandstar:Can that inflation rise be countered by a massive drop on federal spending? Assuming illegals stop harvesting and thousands of USAID orphans are fired,that would imply a lot of people seeking jobs will increase, be it farm jobs or if they learn to code. |

cococandy:Learn to extrapolate.A state going the extra mile to spend more on medical health means the medical professionals are better renumerated. |
Interim US Attorney for DC has been nominated for the same post by Trump to replace Matthew Graves. Ed Martin who has overseen the departure of J6 inquisition prosecutors himself represented several of those jailed. He is a trump supporter who believes 2020 was stolen. Media are now saying judiciary should be independent Trumps team I believe will charge those who stole 2020. Obrigardo. I'm repeating this,so you don't suffer shock and kill yourself.

descarado:The democrats ran a big illegal operation to consolidate power. Money was never a problem. Nobody including Trump would be allowed to stand in their way. They are seething as their sources of illegal funds dry up with each exposure. I'm.sure you have no noticed there been little protests "not my president" with well designed posters. |
descarado:She is the medical field. I'm in ICT but if you need anything solar feel free to ask me. |
Alamkiir:Built by Shahed industries. Shahed in Arabic is a martyr. One who dies for his faith. A suicide bomber is a Shahed. He goes to heaven straight to his 72 perpetual virgins , without waiting for Muhammad to call him. |
Android17:Agree. You need to watch this Professor,ex CIA guy interviewed. He is presented facts , denies the obvious, talks over and insults the host. https://www.rt.com/shows/going-underground/612774-goodman-rattansi-trump-policy-clash/ That's how our resident idiot behaves. |
descarado:Cococandy is in the medical field , more taxes to fund this more take home for her. |
PDPGuy:I have called FBI the Gestapo, the KGB and also the brains behind Jan 6 fedsurrection. You are absolutely correct, LEO can do no wrong and should never be criticized. Your thoughts are the kind that helped mankind walk on the moon. |
PDPGuy:It's democrats who are whining the most. Granted a lot of critical projects have been put on hold. Those who swindled money or poured it into questionable projects cannot be allowed to stay on the job while the audit is going on. It does not seem to matter to you that IRS is after every dollar in the tax returns yet govt can't account for what they are doing with a large chunk of money it spends. I would say this happens to most world governments not only in MAGA country. DOGE is recommending what needs to be slashed , it's not the one that's actually doing the slashing. Bill Clinton , Obama and Biden have called for audits to prevent wastage. Obama
We can’t sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups,” Obama states at the start of the footage. Biden, who was then VP, follows by saying Americans are “entitled to accountability to make sure we’re using the dollars for what we said it was for. “We are going to go through our federal budget…line-by-line, eliminating these programs we don’t need and ensuring that those we do need to operate in a sensible, cost-effective way,” Obama says in the succeeding clip. In another part of the video, Obama discusses eliminating unnecessary spending while Biden talks about his and Obama’s efforts to instill an entirely new culture that every succeeding administration will hopefully follow. Bill Clinton also slashed 380000 federal jobs. Video here.
KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat In the 1990s, President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore took on a challenge that few politicians dared to confront: cutting the size of the federal government. Facing a ballooning deficit and mounting inefficiencies, Clinton announced an ambitious plan to slash wasteful spending, shrink bureaucracy, and rein in government overreach. He signed an executive order eliminating 100,000 federal jobs, a 12% cut in administrative costs, and the consolidation or termination of hundreds of outdated programs. One of his biggest warnings? If wasteful spending wasn’t controlled, the federal deficit would soar to $650 billion per year by the early 2000s, with a growing share of tax dollars going toward interest payments on debt instead of public investment. Fast forward to today. In 2024, the federal deficit stands at $1.83 trillion—nearly triple Clinton’s worst-case scenario. Interest on the debt alone has reached $880 billion, consuming an ever-larger portion of the national budget. Clinton’s reforms worked during his presidency. The federal workforce shrank by 380,000 federal jobs—a 16% decrease. Programs were streamlined, waste was reduced, and deficits were brought under control. Yet, decades later—after the War on Terror, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID-19—government spending has soared once again, bureaucracy has expanded, and the national debt has reached historic highs. Now, history is repeating itself. President Trump has appointed Elon Musk, widely regarded as the world's most successful CEO and technologist, to lead efforts to streamline the government and restore fiscal responsibility. For the sake of America, I hope the Democratic Party and the corporate media can set aside their irrational opposition and support DOGE, just as they once backed Bill Clinton and Al Gore. It's hypocritical of democrats complaining now , when Trump is doing exactly what they had promised to do. Obama set the stage for a perpetually ballooning fiscal deficit with spending on expanded medical care, food stamps , climate change pet projects, forever wars etc while Biden topped it up with massive student loan bailouts and more climate change nonsense. |
DOGE Monday reveal. Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process). In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to @USTreasury for the great work. They intentionally left 4.7 Trillion untraceable. This is creative accounting. Enable loopholes on the system, there might be no fraud yet but it leaves room for diverting funds one day in the future. $4.7 Trillion is last year's total taxes collected by IRS. Why didn't IRS auditors discover this? If there was fraud, why has FBI not arrested anyone? |
IjeBos:Trump already had evidence Biden forced the Ukrainian general prosecutor out for investigating Burisma. Why was he sending them aid when Hunter was still being paid by Burisma. Furthermore during impeachment, the FBI already had the laptop from hell and knew it was authentic. FBI didn't interject. They would have blown the impeachment apart had they revealed the corruption of the Biden |
Republican makes the bold announcement . There is a paper trail of money that has been sent out as aid flowing back into Washington to politicians and corruptocrats.
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth once DOGE is finally unburdened by what has been.

Trump Executive Order on DOGE was well crafted and cast in stone. DOGE predecessor USDS had direct access to all federal IT systems as crafted by its creator Obama. DOGE is operating within the legal framework of USDS. Those suing DOGE are wasting their time and donor funds
|
IjeBos:Not only that . When FBI raided Giuliani and took all his electronics, he told them to take disks with copies of Hunter Bidens laptop .He told them there was Child porn in those disks. They refused and confiscated everything else they could leaving the disks. |
Obrigardo:Why you never hear about the assassins? Why? Because the investigating body was part of the plan or because the attempts didn't happen as reported? About food prices. I don't know what will happen |
cococandy:Generally I don't insult people unless they come at me. I'm a xtian but I don't turn the other cheek, I also didn't invent any word so I can freely use any choice insult I want. I also dont suffer fools , I'll respond to any post I want. I've repeated this for years, I use nairaland as my online bookmark site.I don't need you to agree with me on anything, but I won't let a lie go unchallenged. That is, if it's not from Ijebos the resident idiot. Obrigardo is beyond redemption,I periodically mention him as a caring brother to check that he hasn't killed himself. |
