Musk Reveals “Most Astonishing” DOGE Finding |
Elon Musk revealed the most shocking thing his DOGE team has found during its ongoing cost-cutting efforts on Thursday, saying he unearthed a government payment for a billion-dollar survey that could have been done for ten grand.
|
“The sheer amount of waste and fraud in the government, it is astonishing. It’s mind-blowing,” Musk told Bret Baier. “For example,” he added, “like the simple survey that was literally [a] 10-questions survey. You could do it with SurveyMonkey, [which] would cost about $10,000. The government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that.”
Some government waste examples like the use of funds on foreign diversity training programs and transgender animal testing are so absurd that you can’t help but laugh, but it’s important to remember that they represent Washington’s intense disdain for the American taxpayer. No government that respects its people would light their money on fire like that.
Musk also reported that his goal “is to reduce the waste and fraud by $4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week.” So far, he says DOGE is succeeding. Read more. |
Feds Arrest Notorious Gang Leader Right Outside D.C. |
Law enforcement arrested an alleged MS-13 kingpin less than 30 miles outside Washington on Thursday, securing a major victory in the Trump administration’s war on organized crime.
Attorney General Pam Bondi described the criminal, identified as 24-year-old Henry Villatoro Santos, as “one of the top three [MS-13 leaders] in the entire country.” She added that “he is an illegal alien from El Salvador and he will not be living in our country much longer.”
Officials credited Washington’s new leadership for creating an environment that emboldened them to execute the arrest. “This is what happens when you let good cops be cops, and we’re going to continue to be cops across this country,” FBI head Kash Patel told reporters. Glenn Youngkin added that “President Trump’s executive order declaring the drug gangs and cartels international terrorists [was] critical underpinning to the work today.”
Patel also issued a stern warning to illegal immigrant criminals, saying “If [they’re] here for a minute, a day, a month, or a year, [they’re] here far too long." Read more.

COMING IN HOT: Obese Texan Rams ATV into Parked Teslas |
Police arrested large and in charge Texas man Demarqeyun Cox for allegedly driving his four-wheeler into multiple parked Teslas this week, nabbing the niche road rager after obtaining footage of one of the high-speed assaults.
Cox allegedly gave officers a false identity during original questioning and is believed to have carved “ELON” into two of the vehicles he’s accused of barreled into. He is currently behind bars on $105,000 bond.
This is not Cox’s first run-in with the law. He pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily injury in a domestic violence case in 2014.

It’s Official: The British Government Is Going After Ninja Swords |
If you live in the United Kingdom, your prime minister is coming for your Ninja Swords.
Keir Starmer tweeted on Thursday that his government will ban the apparently prevalent weapons “by this summer.” Anyone caught possessing one could face six months in prison.
|
You’re probably wondering what a “ninja sword” even is. According to the British Home Office, the machete-like device is “a fixed bladed article with a blade between 14-24 inches” with “a single straight cutting edge,” “a tanto style point,” or “a reversed tanto style point.” The government also concedes that “there is not a precise historical description of what a ninja sword is,” which could lead to this ban being equally as subjective as U.S.-proposed “red flag” laws.
Better quench your ninja fix now while you still can. Read more.

Democrats Were Ready for Biden to Die |
A new 2024 election book reveals that Democrats were prepared for Joe Biden to die in office as early as 2023. It claims they secretly had a “death-pool roster” of judges who could have sworn Kamala Harris into office as soon as Joe took his last breath.
The book also claims the party staged “hush-hush talks” to plan for the former president’s withdrawal the year before it happened while exposing new details of his shocking in-office mental decay. One passage explains how Biden reportedly needed to have florescent tape fixed to the carpet, “colorful bread crumbs [that] showed the leader of the free world where to walk.” Recall that as that happened, Democrats and their media allies insisted that Biden was sharp as a tack.
The publication, titled Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, is scheduled for an April release. Read more.

Trump Pulls Elise Stefanik’s United Nations Nomination |
Donald Trump dealt the Israel lobby a crushing blow on Thursday, revoking Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Stefanik’s record suggests she would have proudly brought the Israel First agenda to the U.N., using her taxpayer-funded post to advance the foreign country’s interests at every turn. She has repeatedly insisted that the American government should unequivocally and unconditionally back and fund the Middle Eastern nuclear power.
The president made his decision because of the GOP’s slim House majority. Losing Stefanik would have given Democrats a chance to flip her seat, which the White House views as a risk not worth taking. Read more.

"$15 Million Van Gogh Painting" Turns Out to Be Fake |
In late January, we reported on a $50 garage sale painting that art research experts estimated may have actually been worth $15 million. Their valuation relied on the premise that the piece, titled Elimar, was one of Vincent van Gogh’s many lost works.
It turns out that may be untrue. A new analysis by the Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum concludes that the painting is not one of the one-eared artist’s originals. They say it’s a faux Gogh.
The museum first became aware of the painting in 2018. A year later, it released a report saying its stylistic features “cannot be attributed to Vincent van Gogh.” Despite a team of New York art authenticators recently arriving at the opposite conclusion, the Amsterdam group is standing its ground.
Van Gogh is credited with producing over 900 paintings and 1,100 works on paper. There is no way to know how many more undiscovered pieces he crafted. Read more.

Breast Milk-Flavored Ice Cream Is Soon to Be on the Market |
Not a joke: the baby brand Frida is releasing breast milk-flavored ice cream.
Although not made from actual breast milk, which is not USDA-approved, the product will attempt to answer the age-old question of what the all-human beverage really tastes like. It will be fortified with the same nutrients found in the real thing, including Omega-3 fats, carbs and energy-boosting lactose, as well as vitamins such as iron, calcium, Vitamins B and D, and zinc.
Frida’s marketing team is already singing the product’s praises, painting it as a “pitch-perfect representation of the sweet, creamy, nutrient-packed goodness” of breast milk. Tasty? Repulsive? Something in between? We’re not entirely sure.
We don’t plan to try this new offering, but if you do, please feel free to reply and let us know how it tastes. We’ll be on the edge of our seat for your reviews. Read more.

Don’t be fooled by D.C. Republicans’ on-camera schmoozing with JD Vance. Many of them secretly hate him. We received a reminder of that yesterday.
According to a Jewish Insider report, seven establishment Republicans anonymously attacked the Vice President on Thursday, expressing “concern” and “shock” over his Signal messages regarding America’s Houthi strike in Yemen. These “conservatives” just can’t stand the fact that Vance is anything less than all-in on their war hawk agenda.
“[The texts are] quite revealing,” one unnamed senator said. “It reveals a mindset that I’m sure is perplexing to our European allies,” as if the perplexity of Europe somehow matters.
“It was shocking to me that he didn’t see the need to strike back when they struck our naval vessels. That’s not a British problem or a European problem,” another cowardly RINO added. “Frankly, them striking our friends in Israel is more than enough justification.”
Israel first.
Aside from being disastrously wrong on the substance, the problem for these ghoulish politicians is that Vance has Donald Trump and the Republican base’s sincere backing. This may sound bizarre to Beltway insiders, but the American people are simply not gung-ho about dropping everything to go die in the name of foreign interests that have nothing to do with the United States. The Washington GOP might not grasp that, but the Vice President does. It’s why he leapfrogged them to become second in line to the presidency. They’re very angry about it.
Unfortunately for them, those bad actors are stuck. They know Trump is the boss, and publicly attacking Vance would equate to an assault on the president. Even they aren’t dumb enough to do that. So for now, they sit tight.
But pay attention to future reports similar to Jewish Insider’s. There are sure to be plenty. Neocons like Thursday’s anonymous senators will spend the current term trying to covertly chip away at Vance’s reputation before launching a full-scale character assassination in 2028. They’ve spent the past eight years betting that the Trump era is just a phase and that the GOP will quickly return to the days of the neoliberal Bush agenda once he’s gone.
Vance’s presence threatens that, and they froth over the chance to take him out. We pray that they fail. |
March 28, 1979: The Three Mile Island nuclear accident. The partial meltdown, which occurred near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, began before the crack of dawn and released radioactive gases and iodine into the environment. Cleanup took over 14 years and cost $1 billion. Although no one was killed, the incident remains the worst accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history. There is no consensus on if it led to increased cancer rates. |
