IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) In truly blockbuster news, DOGE's USAID releases showed that the DemoKKKrat hive Politico was propped up by millions of dollars of USAID money. The media attempted to portray this as only a few thousand in "subscriptions." Politico received $27 million from gubment agencies in the Rutabaga years. Seriously? Even the older swimsuit editions of Sports Illustrated---you know where they had really hot, really real women, didn't go for those kinds of rates. The left called this a "conspiracy theory" and yet there were millions of dollars of gubment contracts for the NYSlimes, Politico, the Washington Compost, and others. Meanwhile, DOGE sent termination notices to over 9,400 USAID "employees" who did nothing but spend taxpayer money. 2) Oh, and DemoKKKrats squealing about DOGE getting access to U.S. Treasury computers? Hmm. Forget this? In December the ChiComs had access to EVERY Treasury Department workstation and they didn't say a word. 3) The number of federal employees who have accepted President Trump's buyout offer is now 40,000. (One update now says 60,000) Good, but add a zero. Now a judge has put a hold on the buyouts---I don't think realizing what he did. Trump will proceed to fire them. Meanwhile, staffers in the Equal Opportunity Orifice are whining about Trump's new gender orders. Good. Quit. This writer calls these actions an existential crisis for establishment elites. 4) This is really good news. Sen. Chris Murphy says if they don't stop Trump soon we "won't be able to get democracy back," by which he means their corrupt, marxist, pigs-at-a-trough siphoning of taxpayer money back. And I guess "getting your democracy back" might get tougher now that Russ Vought has been confirmed as Office of Management and Budget secretary. 5) An organization run under USAID and working with a CIA so-called "whistleblower" provided the false background to the first Trump impeachment. Snakes. All of 'em. 6) I didn't catch, or didn't appreciate, that Trump offered a buyout of every single member of the CIA. I dunno, should that come with a pardon? 7) After holding out, walking out, and staging all sorts of other games, Minnesota House DemoKKKrats finally bowed to the inevitable and acknowledged the GOP majority with speaker Lisa Demuth.  8) Trump's team is set to investigate the "worst managed project" in America, Kollyfornia's high speed rail that goes nowhere. 9) Long-time DemoKKKrat operative Julian Epstein says DemoKKKrats fear Trump's success as they will have nothing to run on. Psst. gigglepickle: They don't have anything to run on now. Even the gubment-funded Politico says DemoKKKrats are falling into Trump's trap: "Trump’s orbit, meanwhile, couldn’t be happier seeing Democratic lawmakers lined up on a downtown Washington sidewalk Monday." 10) Good. Some 22 states to sue this Bi you know what over New York's climate "superfund" law that is targeting oil companies, especially in light of the NJ ruling below Wipe this woman out financially. Too bad they can't sue her personally. I still don't know where our side's "Lawfare" people are. 11) Blue Ridge Beef has recalled all of its dog food over a salmonella contamination. 12) The Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth just told Pentagon personnel that an audit is coming. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) Trump's freeze on foreign aid hit the Jesuit Refugee Service, one of the biggest funders of illegal criminal aliens out there. Yesterday JSR announced it was shutting down work worldwide. WIN! 14) Newly-ensconced AG Pam Biondi immediately halted all federal payments of any type to sanctuary cities. IN CULTURAL NEWS 15) President Trump established a task force to root out anti-Christian bias in the federal government. IN TRANSOID NEWS 16) Women in Ivy League schools have sued the universities after being force to change in front of and compete with men. President Trump's order yesterday may end that. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 17) Big win as New Jersey's suit against the oil industry for "climate change" was dismissed with prejudice. 18) Tar-Gay has been sued by a pension fund for defrauding it over the risks of DEI. This is the way. 19) President Trump wants to turn the U.S. into the crypto-capital of the worlD, possibly because theories are leaking out that the ChiCom intelligence services may have created Bitcoin and are fiddling with its value by purchasing large quantities for their national digital currency reserve. 20) Speaking of suits, Louisiana has no fewer than 43 suits against "big oil" going right now. 21) Ford continues to lose big bucks on EVs. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has ordered states to halt EV charger programs (I assume if they are getting federal money for this). 22) Oh? The D.C. housing market is taking a hit because of the vastly inflated home prices there due to the gazillions of useless publicly-paid former employees? 23) The news jobs numbers (January report, before Trump) showed most new jobs going to immigrants. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24) Oh, it's "parts" and transformer shortages that's holding up the green "transition," is it? No, it's the fact that without subsidies NO ONE MAKES THIS CRAP except Elon. Irena Slav reports on the hysterical reactions to the reality that the US is no longer a blind chowderpuppet to these hoax ideas, even to the point that the "green" businesses are staging a visitation-to-Congress/letter-writing blitz to try to SOS (Save Our Subsidies) and that the UK and EU are desperately trying to get . . . wait for it . . . oh, I can't, this is too funny . . . CHY-NA to join in an alignment against Trump and the USA for green. Yes, you heard it right, Even though they have anti-ChiCom foreign policies, and even though Chy-Na is the biggest polluter in the world, by far, the EU and MB (Mediocre Britain) want some sort of alliance. Yer killin' me here. 25) Then there is "hydrogen powered planes" by 2050. Or not. Seems once again, costs are prohibitive. You know, if they wanted H2 planes, they should have just supported our X-30 NationalAero-Space Plane in the early 1990s. 26) Speaking of hydrogen, a Houston "clean hydrogen" startup just cut over half its employees after blowing through $100 million. 27) Nissan suspended merger talks with Honda. IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS 28) The Grammys finally gave up the Boomers. No major Boomer acts were foisted on the audience in "team ups" with current stars. IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS 29) Mortality rates among young adults who took the vax are nearly 35% higher according to a new peer-review study. 30) Several states are launching investigations into Dr. Fallacy. He would not be pardoned from state charges. AND FINALLY . . . 31) A new study (like we needed one---is DOGE on this?)---says that when both men and women look at a woman's butt, the first place they look is the crack. I can't offer any insight, except likely that accentuates the other curvature. Or, maybe people are waiting for money to come out.   Larry SchweikartRock drummer, Film maker, NYTimes #1 bestselling author A Patriot's History (concept trailer) - https://vimeo.com/40949423Buy Larry a coffee - http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys Want more Larry Schweikart politics, current events, and history?

In political news, revelations about USAID funding exposed that Politico received $27 million in taxpayer money during the Biden administration, contradicting media claims of minimal government support. Meanwhile, President Trump’s buyout program for federal employees has seen over 60,000 departures, though a judge temporarily halted it. Senate Democrats fear Trump’s growing success, and his administration is investigating California’s troubled high-speed rail project. Lawsuits are mounting against climate policies, including a New Jersey case dismissed with prejudice, and Target faces legal action over DEI-related fraud. On the cultural front, Trump established a task force against anti-Christian bias, and Ivy League women sued over trans-inclusive policies. The EV industry struggles, with Ford posting losses and federal funding for chargers paused. Internationally, green energy initiatives falter without subsidies, and Nissan suspended merger talks with Honda. The Grammys ditched Boomer acts, and mortality rates among vaccinated young adults surged 35% per a new study. Finally, a study suggests that when people look at a woman’s butt, their gaze first lands on the crack—perhaps expecting money to fall out.
