Government Agencies

Scott Turner, former state legislator, NFL player and pastor from Plano, Texas, will take over as the new Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Given that the history of HUD is about everything that Donald Trump wants to change in Washington, Turner has a great challenge and opportunity. That is, HUD is all about government.

It’s a bit early for spring cleaning but that’s what President Trump and his faithful companion Elon Musk appear to be doing. When I was a child, every spring my mother would open closets and check the attic and basement for clothes and other items that could be discarded or given to charity. Sometimes it was difficult to part with them, especially if they had sentimental value, but generally…

ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings Plus chose to do their part Tuesday in furthering the coordinated and wholly manufactured narrative that America’s already in or on the verge of a “frightening” “constitutional crisis” because the Trump administration has expressed opposition to the judge shopping and perpetual thwarting of nearly his entire agenda by activist,…

On Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today saw no reason amid their latest hyperventilating about President Trump fulfilling a campaign promise of shrinking the size of government — and that doing so has triggered “a constitutional crisis” — to note a CBS poll showing his approval at a record 53 percent.

If I say that Elon Musk is the smartest, boldest, most creative entrepreneur in the world, I don’t think I will get pushback. President Donald Trump’s move to bring him to Washington and put him at the top of a new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, to do the seemingly impossible -- to streamline a vastly outsized government spending behemoth -- injects hope that yes, maybe there is…

In another blow to the liberal media’s corrupt spigot of lucrative government subscriptions paid for with your tax dollars, President Trump’s Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) — led by newly confirmed Secretary Doug Collins — said Monday it cancelled $178,000 in Swampy subscriptions for Politico Pro that can now be used to help the VA fulfill its mission of caring for servicemen and women.…

This week, a massive firefight broke out between Democrats and Team Trump over the White House takeover of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The USAID managed approximately $40 billion in fiscal year 2023; its original mandate, established under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, was to spread American influence across the globe through aid to various governmental and non-…

Politico issued an emergency note addressing claims that it receives indirect payments from government agencies through subscriptions to its Politico Pro service. The note avoids naming USAID, the agency at the center of the controversy. Politico insists it is privately owned with no government funding. But millions of money in subscriptions is government funding. 

On Friday morning, NBC chief Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles was tasked with providing Today with a full segment updating viewers on the investigation into the deadly January 29 mid-air crash over the Potomac River between an American Airlines flight and an Army black hawk helicopter, but predictably made sure to attack President Trump.

The Department of Government Efficiency has started making moves. The D.C. media are furious about his attempts to cut government agencies. But I take Elon Musk’s side. More efficient government has been promised often. It’s never happened. Instead, government just grew. Sen. Rand Paul showcases stupid government “investments” like the $118,000 study of finger snapping, which the National…

Instead of considering why Americans voted for Trump and his campaign promise to task Elon Musk with creating a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to attack government spending, Wednesday’s CBS Evening News and Thursday’s CBS Mornings chose to tug at one’s emotional heartstrings by holding up food sent through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to…

The blog highlights the controversy surrounding foreign aid labeled as an "industry" by Politico after USAID payment system was shut down by Team DOGE. Politico faces criticism for its vested interest in foreign aid funding, which impacts its fiscal stability. The article discusses layoffs in the foreign aid sector, the possible future of USAID, and suggests Politico's concern is due, in part…

The sad sacks at The New York Times are once again whipping out the “race” card to wokescold readers into condemning President Donald Trump’s unraveling of leftist diversity, equity and inclusion policies within the federal government.

Defending the destructive spending plaguing the federal government appears to be what The New York Times does best, which explains its nervous breakdown over President Donald Trump taking scissors to  Washington D.C.’s credit cards.
