As you know I am Mr negative on a lot of this stuff but I have to say, lots of good things happening and Trump has come right out of the gate and taken charge in a way I thought he should have his 1st term.

I like how so many of these politicians are complaining that DOGE is operating unconstitutionally. I would remind them that when they were passing unconstitutional laws they had no problem with that. Remember they told us, if we had nothing to hide then why should we care? Now the shoes on the other foot. If they have nothing to hide then why should they care?

I also think it's time to put an end to these stupid banking laws and we get banking privacy back. Us little people have to have a proctology exam every time we want our money out of the bank if it's more than a few thousand dollars. All in the name of preventing terrorism. Meanwhile the government is sending terrorists money and weapons totaling in the billions nd not 1 arrest is made.

Spot on!

If Trump does what I think is going to happen... he's going to clean house.

If you've read "The Art Of The Deal" you know what he's capable of.

On time and under budget!

STAY AMERICAN!! EPISODE ONE: D.O.G.E. IS THE DC DENIZEN'S DESTRUCTION!​

NEW: The IRS is expected to fire as many as 15,000 employees as early as next week, according to ABC News.

The development comes as unemployment spiked 36% in D.C. thanks to DOGE.

The potential cuts are coming just one month before the IRS begins accepting tax returns.

IRS agents were not included in the federal buyout plan that many other federal workers received but were told to expect a similar plan in April.

The development comes as Trump's Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick has taunted abolishing the IRS and launching an ERS.

They just hired 87,000 so still a long way to go to get back to where we were.

I would imagine every American paying taxes this year is going to be pretty pissed about having to do so.

What we really need is every agency in the federal government to post their budgets and expenditures so that every American can see every penny spent. Essentially every American becomes an auditor of the federal government if they want to.
 


🚨 🇺🇸 REVEALED: SEN COTTON TIED TO ANTI-TRUMP NGO GETTING MILLIONS FROM USAID

Senator Cotton sits on the board of International Republican Institute, which reportedly received $130M in taxpayer money last year—much of it from USAID.

The group actively works against Trump's policies while funding UN refugee programs.

IRI spent $12M on travel and $14M on "benefits" last year.

They even provide housing allowances, according to their tax forms.

Now Cotton's blocking Trump's DOD pick. Funny how that works.

And now we know why there was silence on all of this before Trump was elected. All of these POS politicians are in on it. 10's of 1000's of NGO's involved in bringing illegals into the US alone. Thats a crime. Doesn't matter if the government does it or if they create an entity and funnel money to it and they do it. Still a crime perpetrated and paid for by our tax dollars.

I asked on X this morning, is an NGO still an NGO if funded with government money?
