What if government cutbacks meant getting rid of the poor performers rather than the poorly connected? Isn’t the idea of a MERITOCRACY built into the fundamental assumption about how a free people’s government works?
Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle, with Scott Ott leading the discussion, flanked by Steve Green and Bill Whittle.
Trump says he deserves an “A+++++” grade on the economy.
“Clearly not,” laughs Ryan McMaken, “Give him a D+.”
Why?
Because Trump pushes crony capitalism (his government takes part-ownership of companies).
Because of his tariffs (mostly paid by us, not foreigners),
McMaken, editor in chief at the Mises Institute, joins John Stossel to grade Trump’s second term. Among the issues they address: The Border, DOGE, debt and energy.
The federal government has barely begun to identify cases of frauds occurring in California. While the counting and accounting is just kicking off, there’s already a draft list involving some $8.6 billion worth of fraud traceable to California. And that’s just for openers.
Ultimately, the waste and fraud involving California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his rotten state will dwarf the enormous fraud already logged in Minnesota. So look for rising friction over the spring and summer as this pile of money-business gets identified, sorted and exposed.
How many programs will simply cease to exist? How will the federal government seek reimbursement for monies spent by California in a grossly fraudulent way? Will DOGE return in some new formation?
Get ready for some spectacular fireworks! our hat tip to Al Jolson, who inspired our headline! Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.
They’re dancing in the moonlight because the darkness still hangs over our secretive government.
Here’s a new AI parody song, presented under the shadows of the Fort Huachuca Buffalo Cowboy Museum, by citizen journalist George Webb.
Is this the end of the Democratic Party? How will they survive after Americans discover just how much fraud and corruption they have engendered and supported? 2026 will bring pain to the fraudsters!
Declas is here. From USAIDS to DOGE, we are learning of an endless string of deception and duplicity. This comes even though the fake news has declined to report much of the truth. The propaganda press is as much a part of the problem as the lying leftists themselves.
How do we take control back from the thieves? How do we send the “untouchables” to jail or back from wince they came? In Minnesota, a new hotline is being publicized to report fraud and criminal incidents. The state has been put on notice it can no longer ignore this rampant problem. Stay tuned. Here’s more from And We Know.
It’s common knowledge that good performance in midterm elections hinges on one key issue: the economy. The Left knows this, and it knows that Trump’s economy is not only doing better than last year at this time during the Biden administration, but it’s doing better than any time in history.
Victor Davis Hanson explains the strategy behind the Democrats’ attempt to distract Americans from booming growth before the 2026 midterms on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“The economy is going to boom in 2026 and the Left knows that. So, what is their strategy? Don’t talk about the Trump economy. And we’ve seen what? Go after Tesla. Firebomb Tesla dealerships. Drive Tesla off, automobiles off the road because Elon Musk was the prince of darkness and he was involved in DOGE. Demonize DOGE. Go after ICE. Have street theater. Have riots. Call them Gestapo. Say they’re worse than Hitler. Go after the National Guard that has cleaned up Washington, D.C. Encourage massive resistance. Call it illegal. Shut down the government.”
Since the murder of Charlie Kirk, there has been growing concern over potential financial mismanagement at Turning Point USA.
I have been looking into this and have discovered some shocking information.
We are going to explore the question, “Did Turning Point USA commit fraud?” Here’s more from Wolves and Finance.
Is Candace Owens the only one trying to discover the truth about who murdered Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah?
Turning Point USA, the non-profit Charlie ran, has certainly not come forward in any meaningful way to demand his killer(s) be addressed. There’s even plenty of shady footage to suggest individuals within that organization might have been involved or had some inking of what was happening.
We also have the FBI moving rapidly to shut down all investigations in this case. FBI Director Kash Patel’s role in handling this case has been suspicious from the start.
We note that Candace Owens has shown that private jets under the command of the Egyptian military had been tracking Kirk for more than two years. Did Egypt or any other foreign nations participate in this assassination? Were there dirty intelligence officers involved, either from the FBI, CIA or any other federal agencies?
The buck stops with President Donald Trump. He must appoint a true oversight commission to probe what happened and who’s responsible. He should have been done this weeks ago. Here’s more from Hustle Bitch.
Meanwhile, the DOGE-style audit that Charlie Kirk wanted to see has already been canceled by Tyler Bowyer, the chief operating officer at Turning Point USA. This has led some longtime donors to withdraw their support and others to question why the existing staff has contradicted the wishes of the organization’s founder — only days after he has been slain.
Here, Arizona-based investigative journalist Brian Ference discusses this turn of events with Clayton and Natali Morris at Redacted News.
Ference says Kirk was upset because a pool of suspicious donations had come from overseas sources, as well as NGOs (non-governmental organizations) linked with U.S. AIDs. USAIDs is the now disgraced wing of the State Department. It had been administering many outrageous tax-based grants and expenditures before DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency, formed by Elon Musk) exposed the shady business.
Was Charlie Kirk killed because he intended to have a DOGE-like investigation done poring over the donations to Turning Point USA? Did he fear the non-profit had become a tool used by dirty parties to launder money? Specifically, was his focus upon the ATF — the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives?
Investigative reporter George Webb raises these issues in a new video Tuesday — a video he said he had to wait until he got out of Utah and found himself in a safer place to produce. Besides the video, Webb also assembled a written substack, which we carry here: https://georgewebb.substack.com/p/the-st-george-legacy-how-do-we-do
Advance knowledge of the ATF’s involvement was the reason George Webb had been at the airport in St. George, Utah, waiting for Tyler Robinson’s appearance, before the FBI had even arrested him as the prime suspect in the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. The shooting happened around noon on September 10 on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah,
Webb notes, “Our investigators published the “St. George Welcoming Party” video day of the Charlie Kirk murder when FBI had no idea where the killer was.”
Says Webb, “If you know that Charlie Kirk was calling for an AI DOGE-type audit of TPUSA, and he had several yelling matches with key donors on the topic, you are way down the track to figure out why Charlie Kirk was killed. Quite simply put, Charlie Kirk had a very strong suspicion that Turning Point USA was being used to launder drug money through their Arizona headquarters.”
This is nothing new, says Webb. ATF has been running drugs and guns and laundering the money since the days of Iran-Contra. Webb contends that the “terrorist” bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City back in 1995 was little more than a ruse by rogue ATF agents to erase records, effectively stopping the last big investigation into the shenanigans of these drug runners.
As Webb ominously explains, “Murder doesn’t stop these folks.” Here’s more:
