HMMMM: “Signalgate” is a Masterclass in the application of Useful Idiots. Last week, The Atlantic’s editor Jeffrey Goldberg discovered that he had somehow been added to a group chat (GC) on Signal titled “Houthi PC small group” by National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. This GC appeared to have top cabinet members of the Trump administration on its roster. Goldberg appears shocked to be included in this GC, especially as a journalist intensely critical of the current administration. His last article was titled, Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’, so he probably wondered why he was added. At first, he doubts the veracity that the GC he’s been added to is genuine. He writes: “After reading this chain, I recognized that this conversation possessed a high degree of verisimilitude. The texts, in their word choice and arguments, sounded as if they were written by the people who purportedly sent them, or by a particularly adept AI text generator. I was still concerned that this could be a disinformation operation, or a simulation of some sort. And I remained mystified that no one in the group seemed to have noticed my presence. But if it was a hoax, the quality of mimicry and the level of foreign-policy insight were impressive.” Suffice to say, Mr. Goldberg stayed in the GC, only leaving it this past Sunday, March 23rd. He then wasted no time furiously banging out a 3500 word essay on his adventures in GC land, replete with accompanying screenshots of the chat. How he had time to do this between scheduling cable news interviews is a testament to this true American patriot. (sarcasm) However, is that really the entire narrative? That a Progressive-Liberal journalist just happened to be accidentally added to a high-level chat group discussing policy positions and goals? One that includes some of the most powerful figures in the current administration? Which led to the inevitable story being leaked? https://jesterpolitics.com/2025/03/27/signalgate-is-a-masterclass-in-the-application-of-useful-idiots/ Read the whole thing.

The D.C. Swamp’s Bid To Take Out Hegseth Is A Disgrace by Shawn Fleetwood It’s become fairly obvious over the past week that there is a highly political campaign to take down Pete Hegseth as America’s defense secretary. [Snip] The real reason leftists and other establishment hacks are gunning for Hegseth’s resignation has nothing to do with their fake national security concerns and everything to do with the fact that he’s an outsider who represents a threat to the system they’ve spent decades protecting. Unlike so many of their fellow D.C. insiders, Hegseth is not beholden to the military-industrial complex and defense lobbyists wielding their influence throughout Washington. His only interests are--and always have been--warfighting and the troops. https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/28/the-d-c-swamps-bid-to-take-out-hegseth-is-a-disgrace/

What a simplistic, laughable take. Expecting the leader of a country to keep his word ? Shocking.

He (again) shows his true colors Ukrainian Leader Again States That He Does Not Recognize US Aid as ‘Loans’, Will Not Sign Reworked Mineral Rights Deal by Paul Serran It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration. Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points. First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such. Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal, although his aides had assured US officials that the deal was ready to be signed. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/zelensky-defies-us-emboldened-euro-globalists-ukrainian-leader/

Horrible news.

The Democrat/media hyperventilating over what some are referring to as Signalgate has reached a fever pitch, with the Usual Suspects thinking they have their "gotcha" moment against the Trump administration and using it to try and stoke division and discord among Republicans. The problem for the left with that tactic, though, is that prominent figures on the right on up to President Trump himself, are refusing to play along while reminding their critics that they have absolutely zero standing to lecture anyone about alleged poor leadership qualities and allegedly putting the lives of American service members at risk after the much worse things they turned a blind eye to under the Biden-Harris adminstration. As we reported, GOP political strategist Scott Jennings was among them, blasting his CNN co-panelists Thursday during a heated discussion on the matter, telling them, "I mean, the bar for getting rid of a Secretary of Defense is apparently pretty high. You can get 13 people killed, and go AWOL and not tell the Commander in Chief, and that's not a fireable offense" according to Democrats. Meanwhile, CNBC Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen hasn't been pulling any punches, either, absolutely unloading on Biden apologist and Sen. Chris ***** (D-DE) during a Friday segment where not only did he repeatedly have to press ***** for comment on the Afghanistan debacle (which he of course tried to pin on Trump) and why he never called on then-Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin to resign, but also dismissed "whataboutism" accusations, correctly observing that "The point is you’re going to complain about a splinter in one eye and ignore a 2x4 in the other eye." Let us also not forget that the lack of accountability over the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal among Democrats was so acute that they did everything they could to drag then-Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris over the finish line despite the fact that we were reliably informed by both Biden and Harris and their allies that she was a central figure in the decision-making process, the "last person in the room" in her role as Joe Biden's second in command as the Afghanistan decision was made. So, while there are indeed important lessons to be learned in the aftermath of the Signal chat situation, we'll take lessons from Democrats on national security matters and foreign policy discussions on like the 12th of Never, thank you very much. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2025/03/28/cnbc-host-and-chris-*****-on-calls-for-pete-hegseths-resignation-over-signal-controversy-n2187211

Listen to the clear succinct voice of OPM Senior Advisor Anthony Armstrong (at 17:35): "President Trump has been very clear: Scalpel and not hatchet. That's the way it's getting done, once those decisions are made. There's a very heavy focus on being generous, being caring, being compassionate, and treating everyone with dignity and respect."

They're cutting Grannie's medicare !! Report: Medicaid Misspent $4.3 Billion in Duplicate Payments by Fred Lucas Taxpayers spent at least $4.3 billion over a three-year period covering the same Medicaid patients twice, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Medicaid paid health insurance companies for hundreds of thousands of patients who signed up for the program in two or more separate states. This happened when a patient moved to a different state but Medicaid continued paying the insurance company in the state where the resident previously lived. Medicaid is a joint state and federal health insurance program for the poor. Medicaid pays private insurance companies for each person covered. However, a person isn’t supposed to be covered in a state after moving out. https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/03/27/report-medicaid-misspent-4-3-billion-in-duplicate-payments/

DOGE team offer unprecedented peek behind the curtain of Trump's cost-cutting department by Madeline Coggins Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk and seven members of the team shed light on the department's cost-cutting mission in an exclusive sit-down interview with "Special Report" Thursday. [Snip] Musk, along with DOGE members Steve Davis, Joe Gebbia, Aram Moghaddassi, Brad Smith, Anthony Armstrong, Tom Krause and Tyler Hassen, added a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the department’s work from the Internal Revenue Source to the Interior Department to Social Security. "This is a revolution. And I think it might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution. But at the end of the day, America's going to be in much better shape," he said. https://www.foxnews.com/media/elon-musk-doge-team-offer-unprecedented-peak-behind-curtain-trumps-cost-cutting-department
