FIRE EVERYBODY!!

If you are true small government believer, this is the way. Then, rebuild government, consistent with the Constitution, from the ground up.

"That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves" - Henry David Thoreau

I somehow got directed to a tweet by Kinzinger, and noticed that in his profile he refers to himself as a "proud RINO".

Am I missing something here? Isn't RINO a derogatory term?

What's the criteria for those security revocations? Seems some of the usual like Rice were missing. Or is theirs already gone. Obama as ex-President is probably immune.

President can revoke security clearances wholly at his discretion, there is no property or other right to one. Good to see that one finally happen.

He also needs to revoke some federal judges access to classified information, imho.

Man, why do all leftists look like they are always on the verge of cracking and breaking down bawling. Always pasty white - probably a low level of vitamin D

Yes, and oh by the way, the faux 'historian' Heather Cox Richardson, whom she of course idolizes, is about the most clownish leftist writer you can find. Here's her post-election meltdown.
Quote:
Pollsters thought the race would be very close but showed increasing momentum for Harris, and Harris's team expressed confidence during the day. By posting on social mediawith no evidencethat the voting in Pennsylvania was rigged, Trump himself suggested he expected he would lose the popular vote, at least, as he did in 2016 and 2020.

But in 2024, it appears a majority of American voters chose to put Trump back into office.
Harris and her running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, offered a message of unity, the expansion of the economic policies that have made the U.S. economy the strongest in the world in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and the creation of an "opportunity economy" that echoed many of the policies Republicans used to embrace. Trump vowed to take revenge on his enemies and to return the country to the neoliberal policies President Joe Biden had rejected in favor of investing in the middle class.
I actually recommend her substack for an occasional laugh. Back to Howell, of course Lisa Monaco (who oh btw just lost her security clearance), primary architect of the Russiagate lies among others, was there that night with her.

Anyway, here's the disqualifying motion the DoJ has filed;

Please happen. DC Link:

Quote:
USIP leadership orchestrated extensive internal sabotage before DOGE personnel arrived to implement Trump's mandated leadership changes, according to a Trump administration official involved in the USIP leadership transition who requested anonymity.

Contrary to earlier reporting by The Washington Post and The New York Times, which claimed the institute merely locked its doors, photographic evidence exclusively obtained by the DCNF shows locks had been physically removed from the exterior doors, effectively destroying entry mechanisms. The official said USIP staff removed the locks.

Moreover, staff contacted Washington's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in an attempt to prevent DOGE personnel from entering, citing barricaded doors and security concerns. MPD officers later confirmed these obstructions upon arrival, further discrediting claims that USIP had only engaged in passive resistance. Much of USIP's leadership, including Moose, barricaded themselves on the building's fifth floor, closing window shades and blocking access points in a last-ditch effort to resist DOGE's entry, the official told the DCNF.

The obstruction didn't end at damaged doors. Prior to Monday's confrontation, USIP leaders disabled telephone lines, internet connections and other IT infrastructure, forcing communication among staff through walkie-talkies, according to the official. This deliberate effort to disrupt operations delayed DOGE's entry and added to the confusion during Monday's standoff.

Flyers distributed internally further revealed an organized, premeditated resistance strategy. "Greet the guest(s) but do not engage in conversation and immediately notify the on-duty lieutenant," read the flyers, referring explicitly to anticipated DOGE officials, photos and names of whom were included. The DCNF exclusively obtained one such flyer, including a photograph of it sitting inside a security guard booth outside the building. These flyers were posted throughout the facility in the lead-up to Monday's confrontation, the official said.
Quote:
After suffering a decisive rout in Monday's standoff, former USIP leadership regrouped Wednesday to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration, seeking to overturn the takeover and reinstate its ousted leadership. The complaint claimed that DOGE officials "plundered" USIP offices while USIP's approach, according to the official, involved deliberately damaging their own facilities by removing locks, disabling infrastructure and generally reducing their workplace to a dysfunctional shell.

USIP, established by Congress in 1984, claims its mission is to "prevent violent conflicts and broker peace deals abroad," despite the U.S. having been involved in numerous military interventions, prolonged wars and rising global instability in the decades since. More recently, the institute requested $55,459,000 for its fiscal year 2025 budget to "promote global peace and security," according to its website.
Moose was Ass't Sec of State for African affairs back when the Rwandan genocide happened. A distinguished career of complete failures on the taxpayer dime.

This is a hit piece on trump.

This information is based off a survey conducted with 2024 numbers. I believe trump took office in 2025. This survey was conducted by the restaurant association of metropolitan Washington at the end of 2024 with only 158 restaurants responding out of a little over 600 members in the RAMW. Restaurant association metropolitan Washington. There are 2600 restaurants in Washington DC I can tell the breakdown between city or suburban restaurants.

About the Survey

The survey of 158 restaurant members was conducted online Sep. 18 to Oct. 14. Respondents were mostly casual full-service restaurants (64%) and independently owned and operated (97%).

https://www.ramw.org/articles/blog/dc-full-service-restaurant-workers-hit-steady-losses-2024-closures-reach-record-high


  • 70% of restaurants experience a decrease in summer sales compared with 2023.
  • 75% report less customer traffic.

Nice.



This is an important point. If lobbyists have to register, then they should not get any federal money via DAF (donor assisted funds) or federal grants. That's not a restriction on speech, but a restriction on us (being forced to pay for) lobbying congress to fund speech/conduct/vote for graft. Kaiser is just one of a million or more examples.

It's pretty easy to see that Team Trump went upstream of Soros' money flow to dry up government checks going to Soros NGOs that are used to attack conservatives.

Basically, telling Soros to put HIS money to work against conservatives instead of the taxpayers.

Funding a militant Somali refugee in Maine:
Quote:
Somali-American Abdullahi Ali has had a prolific life since arriving in Lewiston, Maine as a refugee in 2009.

Ali has become a U.S. citizen, started a nonprofit to help fellow immigrants, started several businesses, including a multi-million dollar MaineCare-funded migrant services agency, and even according to an interview he gave to Kenyan media managed to raise money in the U.S. to buy weapons, munitions, and supplies for a paramilitary force he had hoped to lead as president of Jubaland, Somalia.

Quote:
In addition to Gateway, Ali has formed several for profit ventures, including Gateway Communications and Financial Services LLC in 2018, Boundless Media LLC in 2020, Thinkdelivery, LLC in 2018, and Laafyo Consulting LLC in 2023.

According to federal records, only Gateway Community Services LLC was approved for a $687,500 PPP loan on April 11, 2020, a loan that was forgiven in Feb. 2021.

The federal records indicate that the loan helped save 127 jobs in the "All Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services" industry.

Similarly, Ali's nonprofit Gateway Community Services, Maine was approved for a smaller $11,200 PPP loan on May 4, 2020, which was forgiven in May 2021. The low amount of the loan for the non-profit is odd, considering the non-profit arm of Gateway reported paying $527k in salaries and wages in 2021.
Thinkdelivery LLC, a shipping and courier company, was previously known as Deliveryplus LLC.

Most of these businesses operate out of 501 Forest Ave in Portland. One other business also shares that office address: Language Access Providers LLC, a translation service provider operated by Abdifatah Afrah, who also worked for more than two years at Gateway.
No doubt lot's of USAID money laundered to this lovely cultural enricher.

A lot of nerves/eyeballs on these self-report cards that are due in a week I bet.
Quote:
"Firms have just a week to write their own report card, the General services administration sending a letter to top consulting firms, telling them to grade themselves on how exactly they are spending billions in taxpayer cash."

"The letter saying they need to quote, identify each related contract and project and further breakdown spending by functional category"

"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the chokehold these consulting firms have on government spending has shocked him the most since he moved to DC and started opening up the books One of the biggest surprises for me is just seeing how these entrenched interest, they just keep constricting themselves around the power, around the money, around the systems, and nobody cares."

"The problem is systemic. DOGE saying that these consulting groups write contracts so that they are paid for time, not performance"
The money laundering via "Research," "Consulting" and "Philanthropy has evolved vastly since the state of the art back in the mid-60's.

I would have guessed it was way more than half. Pay for active duty and reserves is a pretty small portion of the overall budget, and I would guess at least 70-80% of the rest is contracted.

Aside from military personnel (MilPers)
and civilian personnel appropriations, it's all contracts. To be more specific, I believe what you migjt be referring to is that >50% of the DoD budget is some variety of service contract are opposed to a materiel procurement contract.

I was told at one point about 5-10 years ago when the DoD raised their "small business participation goals" for contracting to 27%, that when you account for the major weapons systems like F-35s, various missile systems, JDAMs, etc. that were all large business contracts, that there was only about 30% of the contracting budget left across the whole DoD. Which meant that after their goal of 27% small business contracting was met, only 3% of the remaining contracts could go to large businesses.

(And yes, for those wondering, "small businesses" in military contracting are a joke. They are all large businesses hiding behind a JV or some other subcontracting arrangement that uses a shell company pretending to be a small business as a front to satisfy a contract requirement.)

Imagine how much more money can be laundered/skimmed when using contractors for food service as opposed to a mess hall run by a mess sergeant. Multiply that by just about everything in the military.

For perspective, a lot of that DoD small business contracting percentage is accomplished on major weapon systems by large company primes that are required to subcontract a certain percentage to small businesses. Not all of the small business goal is in priming contracts.
