Government Agencies

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.

On Wednesday afternoon, ABC and NBC broke in with network special reports to share that FBI Director Christopher Wray told employees he’d be resigning prior to President-Elect Trump’s inauguration on January 20. This left journalists like NBC’s Ken Dilanian despondent, blasting Trump’s “controversial,” “hardline,” and “provocative” selection of Kash Patel to replace him after he did “more...…

New York Times columnist David Brooks, who is about as close to a conservative as that liberal newspaper publishes, wrote something last week that gets to the heart of why Democrats, especially, but also some Republicans, fear a second Trump administration. After extolling what he believes to be the personal virtues of some Republicans (he mentions Mitt Romney, whose personal virtues…

As President-elect Donald Trump moves to shake up the federal bureaucracy, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez pushed a new Red Scare on Tuesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour. But first came a series of clips introduced by anchor Amna Nawaz of several disgruntled bureaucrats and union members working (for now) in the federal government. Surprise! They’re all opposed to Trump’…
