Thanks to Gavin Newsom, federal funding to rebuild post fires now has a $50M deductible.
You know what it is
The DOGE discoveries are not just about “wasted” taxpayer funds. The real story, the 5 alarm fire, is that USAID was literally funding an entirely hand crafted pseudo-reality. Not just in America but all over the world.
You were robbed to fund global psychological operations.

(AKA narrative control)
(I could go on for an hour)

People get caught up on the “$100K to study cocaines’ impact on chihuahua” stories.
That is not the headline here.

The headline here is:
The US government robbed you blind in an effort to control your mind

That’s about as big as it gets.
I found the outcry of a ” billionaire unelected bureaucrat” was “dismantling” government, in other words, dismantling the gravy train of thousands of “unelected bureaucrats” to be rather hilarious. I also found it rather funny that the failed, Boston “educated” economist/bartender Representative “from the Bronx” declared the man behind SpaceX, Tesla and Starlink to be unintelligent.
What USAID did was buy us a little good will throughout the world. And with Trump’s craven
toadying up to Netanyahu (Trump was played by Netty like a cheap violin), and elimination of USAID and threat and imposition of tariffs, he’s managed to unite China, Russia, Central America, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the entire Islamic world against us. A few countries might fear us, but most simply hate and pity us.
Trump is not very good at kissing ass?
Is that it?
Dr. J. How is President Trump’s approach any different than Biden’s approach regarding Israel. Just more of the same. A lot more. Both Biden and Trump are completely unwilling to stand up to Netanyahu.
We won’t be taking Gaza. The rest of the world won’t be allowing that to happen. War crimes are still frowned upon. And as strong and wealthy as our country is, we are not as strong or wealthy as China, Russia, Central America, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the entire Islamic world combined.
How is President Trump’s approach different? Here’s how:
*
“President Donald Trump will allow the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, removing a hold his predecessor, Joe Biden, had placed on the ordnance”
*
https://tinyurl.com/5ekh7b7f
“President Biden told Netanyahu that the U.S. won’t support any Israeli counterattack against Iran”
*
https://tinyurl.com/3r2tpd28
There’s a sample. Trump supports the survival of Israel while Biden had tried to micro manage their defense and kiss pro Hamas Democrat butts at the same time.
Trump knows America is a true ally of Israel and does not try to limit their self defense as they fight for their very existence.
Trump will stand up to anyone he disagrees with, but he & Netanyahu are on the same page, they know what needs to be done.
Good vs Evil, it’s pretty obvious here but Dem’s can’t figure it out.
What about crimes against humanity? Are those still frowned upon? What about treason? LMK
A little good will by paying for chelsea clinton’s wedding and buying her a home. Leaving haiti with 2% of the millions sent to them from American taxpayers so the clinton’s could keep the rest?
You’ve been played like a cheap violin, I’ve been calling balls and strikes for a long time.
Americans aren’t here for other countries to like. This ain’t a popularity contest. This is life and we just want to live without being robbed blind by a government to pay for transgender education in iraq.

What USAID did was buy us a little good will and a great deal of hate throughout the world. The deliveries of food, most medicines, and disaster supplies may have bought us the goodwill, and the interference in the internal political affairs of other countries and actively engaging in attemping to foment social change in other countries bought us the great deal of hate. We should continue the deliveries of food, medicines, and supplies, which should be turned over to the military, and disband all other USAID activities, especially the funding of all of the corrupt NGOs we’ve been doing business with.

Most of the countries and countries in the regions mentioned already feared and hated us, our so called “allies” may now pity us, but besides you, who cares about their pitty. If President Trump’s relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu, the elimination of USAID, and the threat and imposition of tariffs has really unified China, Russia, Central America, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the entire Islamic world, then the US has absolutely no need to continue to protect Canada, Mexico, Central America, and Europe, give foreign aid to any of the counties listed or counties in the regions mentioned, and should no longer issue visas, allow immigration, or refugees from any of those countries or countries in the regions that you mentioned, that’s a huge win for the United States. Also, with your claim of unification of the entire Islamic world against us, along with the unification and support of Canada, Mexico, China, Russia, and Central America against us, this would’ve resulted in a declaration of war on Israel, which hasn’t happened. Your comment is really nothing but a gross exaggeration of the events which have taken place.
And yet back in the 1980’s Senator William Proxmire (D-Wis) issued his “Golden Fleece Awards” which were celebrated. What a screwed up world we live in with the sleazy crapitalist elites whine at Musk doing something similar and furthermore trying to do something about it.

There’s an actual known medical syndrome that disables part of the human brain that gives them the ability to think, speak, and act rationally. Look up Trump Derangement Syndrome, and you’ll see a picture of Doh!
There’s an actual known medical syndrome where the part of the human brain that enables people to feel and to empathize with others is genetically damaged and did not develop normally. Look up Amygdala Dysfunction and Prefrontal Cortex Impairment. This is a real thing, and Trump may have it. Those that have this syndrome can engage in incredible cruelty and still feel absolutely nothing. There are cruel historical figures who clearly suffered from this same syndrome.
Do you not feel for Americans who have been robbed and poisoned by the government for over 100 years? So what’s your excuse? Now you’re a dr again diagnosing the President of the United States with your stupid COVID HOAX mask on pumped full of vaccine created for a virus created and released by your own government and paid for by you? All verified by the USAID auditors.
But you really didn’t need them to tell you since you’ve been here reading my posts for years. Haven’t you? I told you everything

Changes I would like to see happen in these next four years in regards to illegal immigration. Cut ALL funding to support illegal immigrants; i,e. food stamps, medical benefits, housing programs, tax funded legal representation.
I would also like California to stop being a Sanctuary State.
No more giving driver’s license to illegal immigrants.
“California has an impulsive, impetuous, preening child leading the state“…
“Current state and local environmental regulations to prevent controlled burns are what contributed to the Pacific Palisades, Altadena and part of Los Angeles burning down, and the previous fires in recent years.” …

“One of the other newer problems that Globe readers have shared is that areas they have lived for decades are now being designated “wildfire risk” areas. And after that, they receive in the mail either drastic fire insurance premium increases, or fire insurance cancellations.
This is smelling like a set up.” …

As a kid saw impulse sprinklers on rooftops up in foothills. Wets down roof and area surrounding the house. Would be easy to DIY a system. Ideal in foothills a well, and a generator. A swimming pool even better, gas powered pump. Fire has a problem when fuel is wet.

CNN is reporting that top brass at the Pentagon are currently formulating plans to circumvent orders from President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth. Literal treason happening once again.
“Whatever happened to Newsom’s promise that he’d eliminate red tape and accelerate the rebuilding of one of L.A.’s nicest and most historic neighborhoods? The former homeowners of Pacific Palisades who were hoping to quickly rebuild from the ashes now understand to their very cores what Otter told Flounder in “Animal House”: “You f***ed up, you trusted us.” “

But he does, great fly by photo OP press conferences
a coincidence to the Otter and Flounder quote: Newsom had a pet Otter as a child, and allowed it to sleep in bed with him. Read this in a biography about him( Newsom’s not the Otter’s)

By now almost everyone has come to realize that the American taxpayers have been swindled by a bunch of money grubbing grifters from the progressive left. A day of reckoning is now finally upon us and some of those politicians will and should be held accountable for their illicit tactics. The days of tens of billions appropriated from supposed homeless programs and hundreds of billions for trains to the desert are over. Hopefully full investigations and extensive audits will be handled swiftly to expedite and prosecute the people involved in their illegal transgressions. Recompence is owed to the American taxpayer…
Totally agree! However, don’t hold your breath waiting for prosecutions. The swamp is full of players from both party lines. If DOGE digs deeply ehough they’ll find: If not virtually Every Leader in Congress, then nearly Every one is, in one way or another, related to, best friends with, beholden to, or being blackmailed by someone at the top of every crooked 501x-x tax exempt organization, from the local Thrift Store rag collector to the top of the Church(s), and the contracted NGOs.
It’s nearly impossible to be elected in this country without buying votes and compromising ethical standards. Those who have lasted the longest, through every regime…have simply perfected the the game.
