All normal Americans should be able to agree that this is an abject abuse of our taxpayer dollars.

Break Out the Dem Crying Towels: Check the Latest Great Economic Numbers Nick Arama I don't know what the Democrats are going to do after they check out the economic numbers on Friday. They were probably already tearing their hair out because the economic disaster they kept predicting would come from President Donald Trump's policies hadn't happened. Not only hasn't it happened, but the economy is strong, as "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary explained on a CNN Panel on Wednesday night. Now, more numbers are in, and they're even better, so prepare a crying towel for the Democrats. The consumer price index was less than expected, with the lowest rate in four years. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/05/30/more-good-economic-news-n2189819

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the US will begin revoking the visas of Chinese students Associated Press News, by Annie Ma & Collin Blinkley Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday the U.S. will begin revoking the visas of some Chinese students, including those studying in “critical fields.” China is the second-largest country of origin for international students in the United States, behind only India. In the 2023-2024 school year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making up roughly a quarter of all foreign students in the United States. “Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. State Department will work with the Department of Homeland Security to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” Rubio wrote. https://apnews.com/article/international-students-visas-trump-guidance-social-media-a1f5180ce83560aff66dd65534906697?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=share .

Jackson’s dissent proves she is not suited for her role on the court. The law should be blind. If an illegal action allowed 500,000 people to stay in our country it doesn’t justify another illegal act of letting them stay just because enforcement of the law would be inconvenient to the lawbreakers lives. https://x.com/SimonSaysKnow/status/1928469392599265754 The ruling was 7-2. . .

Now Junior. Leave Bugs out of this.

Well whadayaknow, an 8-0 SCOTUS ruling that limits lower court jurisdiction at least as far as environmental impact standards is concerned to only that case or district https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-limits-judges-authority-block-infrastructure-projects-over-environmental-concerns Of course you can bet White House attorneys are going through this to see if they can extend this to help shut down other nationwide injunctions.

MORE DC CORRUPTION.

EXACTLY.

Congressman Andy Ogles confirms federal investigation into Nashville mayor’s office over illegal immigration by: Erin McCullough NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two federal committees will be conducting an investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell for allegedly “aiding and abetting” illegal immigration, Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles announced on Monday. The Congressman, along with a gaggle of Tennessee elected officials at the state level and representatives from law enforcement agencies, announced the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees will look into the mayor, his conduct and whether or not the city used federal dollars “in criminal enterprise” related to immigration. “I will not back down. I will not relent. I will always stand with law enforcement,” Ogles said during a Memorial Day press conference inside the state capitol building. “I want my community, and I want my country back.” https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/congressman-andy-ogles-confirms-federal-investigation-into-nashville-mayors-office-over-illegal-immigration/

Why doesn't the phrase "Special Government Employee" appear in the NYT article about Musk's "distancing" himself from Trump. I've been trying to read "A Disillusioned Musk, Distanced From Trump, Says He’s Exiting Washington/The billionaire has made clear he is frustrated with the obstacles he encountered as he tried to upend the federal bureaucracy." That piece in the NYT has 5 authors: Tyler Pager, Maggie Haberman, Theodore Schleifer, Jonathan Swan, and Ryan Mac. instead of the phrase "Special Government Employee" — which appears at the post the NYT links — the Times makes it "government employee." And instead of noting the 130-day time limit built into the status of "Special Government Employee," the Times just says "his stint" is "coming to an end." But previously: Ah, yes, here's a NYT article from April 23 — "A Subdued Musk Backs Away From Washington, but His Project Remains" — that ends: "By dialing back the number of days he spends working for the White House, Mr. Musk can also potentially stretch out the 130 days he is allotted as a 'special government employee.'" And here, on April 18 — in "Head of I.R.S. Is Ousted in Treasury’s Power Struggle With Elon Musk"— "As a special government employee, Mr. Musk is allotted 130 days of time on the job. But if he works part time, he may be able to extend his time in government." The names Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan are on both of those.

Every year after Memorial Day we get the same story released. Get ready for several years of killer heat, top weather forecasters warn Associated Press, by Seth Borenstein https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/years-killer-heat-top-weather-forecasters-warn/3710380/

The Democrats Declare War on the Obama Boys Scott Pinsker FTA: This morning — at 5 a.m. on the flippin’ dot! — NBC News dropped a triple-bylined, 40+ paragraph bombshell: “Obama world loses its shine in a changing, hurting Democratic Party” (I think there’s a typo in the title? Maybe they meant “Obama world loses its shine in a changing climate,” or something like that. Nonetheless…) Folks, NBC News was obviously working on this story for a very long time. They had three journalists collaborating on it, including Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki, their “senior national political reporters.” They name-dropped 50 or so people in the first 30 paragraphs. Donors, activists, and big-time operatives were all interviewed. Pro Tip: When liberal journalists use a phrase like “high priests of their party’s politics,” you KNOW it’s gonna be followed by an angry slam. When your default setting is hostility to religion, you’re not using a phrase like “high priest” out of reverence, but out of snark. The Democrats are furious. The Democratic Finger-Pointing Game continues: At first, it was all Kamala Harris’s fault, but her people (correctly) pointed out that Biden’s ineptitude torpedoed her chances. Then the finger was pointed at Biden, but his people (correctly) pointed out that he’s just a sick old man who did the best he could. So now, they’re blaming the people who put Biden in power: The Obama boys. https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/05/27/the-dems-declare-war-on-the-obama-boys-n4940178

Huh. whodda thought.

Hegseth Makes Big Announcement About DOGE Findings at Pentagon - They're Massive By Nick Arama We got good news from Office of Management and Budget (OMB) head Russ Vought on Wednesday when he announced on Fox Business that the first bill codifying DOGE cuts would be coming next week. The first bill will include foreign aid, USAID, and NPR, among other items. How much it will encompass in terms of money is not yet clear but those subjects could cover a lot. That sounds like a good start. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was eager and ready to act on the bill so they could deliver even more cuts for the American people. But there's more coming because they're still working and finding wasteful spending, and there are some of the big items at the Pentagon. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered an important statement on X on Wednesday in which he said they'd identified an enormous amount in potential cuts. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/05/28/whoa-hegseth-makes-big-announcement-about-doge-findings-at-pentagon-and-theyre-massive-n2189742
