Seems the “biggest” attack on DOGE by the Democrats has been “punctured”.. While being questioned in a CNN “interview”, Representative Buddy Carter, R-GA, a member of the Congressional DOGE Caucus, corrected CNN’s Boris Sanchez’s ASSERION that DOGE examiners were accessing employees personal files. Carter stated that, “DOGE Employees don’t have access to sensitive information. They have read-only access, preliminary access, and are just looking for inefficiencies. They don’t have access to you personal Information. Only federal employees have that… and the Treasury.. so that something we should not be concerned about”.. Then, CNN’s Sanchez said Carter’s “wild assertions” would be fact-checked and he’d bee asked about them later… Hmmm… and CNN “wonders” about its lack of cedibility … and viewers…maybe CNN should “fact-check” its OWN WILD ASSERTIONS before “asserting” them...

Online "headLIE": "Bill Gates suggests Elon Musk doesn’t see the ‘good work’ accomplished by USAID" -- Whoa! I think the real issue is that GATES refuses to acknowlege the "BAD WORK" that has overtaken USAID.. and, unfortunatelty, Gates is KNOWN for "not seeing" the "bad work" in his primary business.. look back at all the versions of Windows he released that had more "crashes" than the history of NASCAR racing!

Yesterday, we learned that, according to a NY Times report that: "The Army helicopter that collided with a passenger jet last week in Washington had its tracking technology turned off at the time of the crash, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz told the New York Times. * When in use, the technology, called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, or ADS-B, broadcasts an aircraft's position, altitude and speed, said the New York Times. * It allows air traffic controllers to not rely solely on radar tracking, which can have a delay of a few seconds and hence gives an extra safety layer" -- Sadly, nothing we learn from the tragedy now will lessen the grief that the 67 families have experienced, but.. if we learn to do things better, grief for many more will be spared in the future...

Online headline/story: “Rep. Nancy Mace repeated an anti-transgender slur in a House Oversight Committee hearing after being called out by Rep. Gerry Connolly to avoid it. * The term Mace used is considered derogatory, defamatory, and dehumanizing for transgender people according to GLAAD, an LGBTQ media advocacy organization." -- Hmmm... and the definition of a woman by GLAAD liberal media and most Democrats is "derogatory, defamatory, and dehumanizing to biological females, males, and GOD…

Let's give USAID some perspective about the potential for waste that DOGE is weeding out: "In the fiscal year 2023 USAID’s budget totaled some $40 billion. To put that in context, that is roughly the GDP of a small country like Estonia."  Sadly, the Democrats don't want this agency audited... can you think of any other reason Democrats object to such an audit.. well, other than discovering who's "finger prints" are in the "cookie jar"... I can think of BILLIONS of reasons!

Online headline: "Sen. Ossoff urges Trump Administration to quickly implement Social Security Fairness Act" --  Hmmmm....Why is it that Democrat politicians "seem" to develop a "sense of social consciousness" ONLY when they are in the minority right after they had been the majority?

Online headline: "'Damn right': Liz Cheney's past USAID employment faces backlash after lashing out at Elon Musk" --  Hmmm... I'd say Liz Cheney is in deep dodo if she has to rely on JoKKKe Biden & KamaLALA Harris for a job reference.

Online headline/story: Why are Democrats so scared of Russell Vought? * Democrats have stalled on several of President Donald Trump's appointments, but they have been especially opposed to Vought.” – Hmmm....Could it simply be that “since 2019, the U.S. population has grown 2%, while spending has grown 55%, adding that the government sent $1.6 billion in stimulus checks to dead people that were fraudulently cashed.”,  or simply that " Joe Robertson, a 77-year-old Navy veteran, who received an 18-month prison sentence for digging ponds on his property for fire protection. The Environmental Protection Agency claimed it went against its unclear guidelines regarding "navigable waters.". or simply that “he seeks to cut programs that are keeping people out of the workforce. He said some of the programs during the COVID-19 pandemic were "not just a social safety net but a benefit hammock.", or simply that “there have been reports of people not going back to work because their unemployment benefits were higher than their paychecks.”, or that “another point of contention between Vought and Democrats concerns the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which seeks to limit the power of the executive branch with the congressional budget. Vought said both he and Trump believe the law is unconstitutional.”, or that “federal spending has increased from around 19% of gross domestic product in past decades to 25% this year, and that "Trying to get back to historical levels of outlays is one of those important first steps to begin to find out ways to not set records as a percentage of GDP," Vought said.”, or simply that “due to Elon Musk's efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency, the Trump administration has uncovered wasteful government spending programs, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development spending $70,000 on a "DEI musical" in Ireland.” Or that “a Vought confirmation would mean that congressional Democrats' wasteful spending programs will be further exposed and reduced" . Take your pick!

Online headline: “Transcripts show ’60 Minutes’ edited Kamala Harris’ remarks during interview” – You know, it's one thing to edit stories to fit into time/space restrictions, but if you edit the meaning of a politicians words to do so, then you have committed "election interference", and there's no "absence of malice" defense.

 

Personal Note: Having had some of my own “Letters to the Editor” “edited” by a past Columbus L-E editor in which a key word or sentence was removed that altered to whole point I was making is why “The Breakfast Club” was started… When I write that I am either “NOT for or against something”, and the editor edits “NOT” out of the statement, then my opinion is MALICIOUSLY altered! Fortunately, he’s no longer at the L-E… and hopefully not in any journalist job!

Talk about "promises kept", because of President Trump, now I won't be worried about some girl's softball team "clean up" batter named "BOB-era" hitting an testosterone-laced accelerated line drive back at my granddaughter in the future!

How screwed up IS the Democratic Party agenda? I really can't grasp their perspective about standing against American law enforcement officers protecting American citizens while standing up for illegal alien gang members who have terrorized American citizens.

Did you see the megaphone equipped liberals who screamed directions  and information (in Spanish) to suspected illegal aliens being sought out by ICE? You know, those people are guilty of "aiding and abetting" a known felon, and should be arrested as such.

Hmmm.. I think I have an idea of how Columbus GA’s Police Department can claim there’s a drop in local crime rates… they now ignore call in reports! Last night, at a downtown church’s ladies event, one of the 45-50 ladies discovered that her car had been broken into, and a messy attempt had been made by destroying much of the steering column in an attempt to steal it. Visibly shaken, she called it in to 911, and she was informed that he Columbus Police Department no longer sends an officer out to inspect the crime scene and take a report, and she’d have to “go online” to the CPD’s website and “file a report”! Now, how does the woman feel safe just being ignored by the CPD while she stands in the midst of a night CRIME SCENE, and how does the woman “dust for finger prints” that might reveal that this crime may have committed by a felon out on bail?  While we know Mayor Skippy knows this policy since he the Top Public Safety Official in the Columbus, GA, but I wonder how many Columbus GA Councilors know this is the CPD policy..
