In huge news for those wanting to see DOGE take an axe to the various forms of federal spending-enabled fraud engaged in by the sorts of Swamp businesses that are much despised by normal Americans, DOGE has announced that it is turning its sights on the sort of contractors and consultants who have leeched billions of dollars out of federal spending programs. Amongst those financial leeches who will be hardest hit by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in its efficiency push are those consulting firms that have taken in billions of taxpayer dollars without justifying why they…

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly considering bringing criminal charges against former United States Institute for Peace (USIP) employees who sought to prevent the Trump Administration from making leadership changes at the controversial think tank. USIP workers destroyed locks, obstructed entrances, and distributed inflammatory fliers to obstruct the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). For context, DOGE eventually called the police to secure USIP’s $500 million facility, which was handed over to the Government Services Administration (GSA). After the protracted fight, over 300 staffers were fired, and DOGE announced the discovery of widespread fraud, including payments to Iran and the…
The Democratic Governor’s Association, chaired by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, was recently implicated in an alleged union money laundering scheme. Complaints circulated this past summer, when Walz was still former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, that the organization funneled union dues back to gubernatorial campaigns. According to allegations from the Freedom Foundation, the Democratic Governor’s Association (DGA) colluded with the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) to launder approximately $1.5 million in teacher’s union dues back to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s 2022 gubernatorial campaign. The Freedom Foundation filed the complaints with state and federal authorities. The conservative think tank reported…
In a stunning appearance on the Jesse Kelly Show, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) blasted Judge Boasberg, who became infamous for blocking Trump from deporting Venezuelan gang members. In the bombshell interview, the MAGA hardliner slammed liberal judges who distort the Constitution to achieve their political ends. For context, Harriet Hageman is a Republican Representative from Wyoming who rose to prominence for defeating outspoken RINO Rep. Liz Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary, a race in which she was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Since then, Hageman has been a staunch supporter of President Trump and critic of government overreach.…
No matter how much I wanted to babysit, my daughter Mira claimed I wasn’t “modern parent material.” No argument. Sadists made car seats like riddles. Baby bottles had innovative venting. Diaper bags resembled military backpacks with concealed pockets. Everything about childrearing today seemed like I needed a guidebook to hold the infant. When Mira called that morning, her voice tense, I didn’t hesitate. Dad, I realize this is last minute, but can you watch Ellie? The sitter left, daycare isn’t picking up, and I have a 20-minute interview.” “Drop her off,” I said. We’ll work it out.” She arrived in…
During semester break, I volunteered for senior dinner delivery. Just drop off the meal, check in, and go on. No stress. No deep talks. Or so I thought. Her name was Lita. Ninety-five, quiet voice, pink cardigans, and a tiny dog named Poppy who perched proudly atop her walker like a palace. I was only asked to open her yogurt once. “My hands are on strike,” she winked. She was absent one Tuesday when I arrived. I knocked again and she said, “Come in, sweetheart.” I entered and paused. Lita faced the dog at the kitchen table. Complete chat. “I…
I never imagined saying, “I just ran in for a coffee.” It seems naïve, like a remark made in a crime show before a detective dismisses it. That morning, it was supposed to be 10 minutes. I was going to see a former acquaintance who had popped in my inbox with a strange message and a location. “We should talk,” it said. A pin was dropped in a coffee shop I hadn’t gone to in years. And like an idiot—or someone with something to prove—I went. I parked my white Kia in front, in full daylight, with busy foot traffic.…
I said “Goodbye, Dad” at his grave and left the cemetery. I saw an old woman beside a newly excavated grave on my walk. Her dark spectacles and cane showed she was blind and lost. Excuse me, I replied gently. Do you need assistance? “If it’s not too much trouble, I’d really appreciate if you could walk me home,” she said. I couldn’t refuse. As we went, I discovered her name was Kira. She was 67 and had buried her spouse days before. Her boys left her off at the graveyard and promised to return in 30 minutes. She waited…
Sarah put her career on hold when her children were born because her husband insisted she take care of their enormous house and children. Sarah kept their house clean every day, but Harry believed he was more important because he worked. He discovered one morning that Sarah had washed his “lucky shirt,” which he intended to wear. The man burst with wrath! “You sit at home all day doing nothing,” Harry shouted. Is it too hard to recall anything simple? You do nothing at home but blah blah blah.” Harry, stop. The youngsters watch. “You scare them,” Sarah added. Oh,…
