Democratic state attorneys general continued their legal resistance to President Donald Trump’s early policies Friday, filing a new lawsuit accusing Trump and the Treasury Department of violating federal law by granting Elon Musk’s aides access to a sensitive federal payments database. What are they so afraid of?
DAVID SACKS: “Anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. So the question is why? Well, now we know why. The money is all going to them!”
The USAID story is way bigger than most people realize. It’s not just that they funded Politico, NY Times etc., but then the articles in those publications were used as sources all over CNN, NBC News etc., to further push their agenda. This is how they laundered the lies…
The Politico scandal is worse than you think. It’s not $8M that Politico received from USAID. It’s $34.3M that Politico has received from various swampy federal govt agencies. Politico is, without a doubt, a totally corrupt propaganda arm of the swamp….The Biden Administration paid Politico millions of dollars under the table to spread anti-conservative propaganda, which Politico then fraudulently represented to the public as being legitimate news.
Let’s see what else has been uncovered so far….just the tip of the iceberg:

NEW: Joe Rogan obliterates Bernie Sanders, the Soros family, and the media for the most outrageous gaslighting ever. “Bernie Sanders making a post about how Donald Trump is trying to silence independent media was the wildest fucking gaslighting I think I’ve ever seen from a politician. Independent media? You mean f*cking CBS? You mean CBS that edited that Kamala Harris interview to make it look like she had a really good point?” Alex Soros warned that the U.S. has become an “unelected cabal wielding power” under Donald Trump and Elon Musk. “That’s you! That’s you, Alex. That’s your dad!” Rogan shot back, exposing the hypocrisy of a billionaire heir complaining about elite control when his own family wields massive influence over global politics. Meanwhile, the media cries over a so-called “constitutional crisis” and screams that “no one elected Elon” as the government gets caught funneling taxpayer dollars into left-wing Politico, Iraqi Sesame Street, and Moroccan pottery classes.
@JoeRogan to the media: “All you’re talking about is the horrors of dismantling this amazing organization. What about all this shit that they’ve uncovered? There’s not even a counterargument like, no, we need to fund gender-fluid dance in f*cking Turkey. What are you talking about? We need $200 million for Starbucks Keurig cups. What?”
While USAID was not directly a “front” for the CIA in Vietnam, during the Vietnam War, a significant portion of USAID’s work became deeply integrated with CIA operations, particularly through the “Civil Operations and Rural Development Support (CORDS)” program, which combined military, CIA, and USAID personnel to carry out counterinsurgency efforts in South Vietnam, effectively blurring the lines between civilian aid and covert operations; therefore, some argue that USAID functioned as a de facto extension of CIA activities in certain aspects of the war.
Key points to remember:
CORDS program:
This program, established by the US government during the Vietnam War, brought together various agencies including USAID, the military, and the CIA to conduct “pacification” efforts in Viet Cong-controlled areas.
Integration of operations:
Under CORDS, USAID personnel often worked alongside CIA operatives on projects designed to win over the Vietnamese population and undermine Viet Cong support.
Criticism of blurred lines:
Critics argue that this close collaboration between USAID and the CIA during the Vietnam War raised concerns about the use of civilian aid programs for intelligence gathering or covert operations.
Seems to be an all parties on board as this has been going on for a long time . I think the people need to uncover how far back this has been going on and what other money was used for . Ill bet its deeper than we know . How ironic that American born or legally here paying into these fraudulent escapades cant get decent healthcare, have to absorb inflated costs effecting everything , groceries, interest rates , fuel , utilities, on and on . The cover ups go farther back and deeper than we know .
Wow, this article didn’t age well. Maybe you should look for a little more information before publishing. A lot of that information is incorrect. No fraud has been found. Funding was approved by Congress the funding. That would be both Democrats and Republicans congressmen. Total USAIR funding is less than 1% of our total budget.
What private company, that is still in business does wholesale cuts in their workforce before finding out what their people do? What idiot shuts down all programs without first understanding the program? I sure do feel safer – not!
Grocery prices were day 1. What happened?
Editor’s Note: It is USAID, not “USAIR”. You fly on USAIR (now subsumed by American), you rip off and commit fraud using USAID. Another dopey spin from a low-bandwidth liberal. Grocery prices after just 3 weeks (how moronic). And you’re still wondering why America rejected people like you?
You Sir, Are a Damned Fool!
Well said Mr. Bell.
Brief, to the core of the problem and says everything necessary.
J Wheaton: What private company, that is still in business does wholesale cuts in their workforce before finding out what their people do?
What idiot shuts down all programs without first understanding the program?
ME: Corporate America does that all the time, J Wheaton, as do the BIG BANKS.
Intel, for example, among the largest beneficiaries of the United States’ push to onshore critical chip manufacturing which under the Biden administration was the recipient of a $7.86 billion government subsidy (a gift of taxpayer dollars from Joe Biden) has cut over 23,000 jobs since the end of 2022, part of a plan to streamline operations and cut costs, which layoffs are due to shrinking revenues and increased competition in the semiconductor industry, which is why Jo9e Biden is bailing them out with taxpayer dollars.
In October 2024, Intel announced layoffs of 16,500 employees, the largest quarterly loss in the company’s history.
Do you think, J Wheaton, that Intel found out what those people being did before cutting them?
As to what idiot shuts down all programs without first understanding the program, probably a lot of corporate CEO’s would fill that bill.
In 2023, for example, the banking industry cut over 60,000 jobs, with UBS, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs being among the banks that cut the most, which cuts were due in part to digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI).
And what a pure unadulterated thrill it is to see you back posting again.
People’s prayers have been answered!
Paul, I’ve never seen you boast about working in corporate America. Let me give you some insider information: those cuts you mentioned were likely discussed a year in advance. Units were analyzed, markets evaluated, and costs calculated before any decision was made. The CEO is well aware of all the actions taking place and is accountable to the investors.
Now, if you want to compare that with the Musk/Trump situation, they dismissed employees from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which oversees the U.S. nuclear weapons fleet and works to secure radiological materials worldwide and then told them to come back. This indicates that shrinking the government workforce wasn’t thought out for more than a moment. Wayne’s comment, “Move fast and break things, and if you don’t miss it,” doesn’t track in the real world.
Unemployment will rise, the deficit will increase, GDP will decrease, and all the money saved from reducing the federal workforce will go where? To tax cuts for the uber-rich? To buy Gaza, Greenland?
Is there waste in the Federal Government? Yes. Is this the way to handle it? Not at all. This is a made-for-TV spectacle.
J Wheaton: Paul, I’ve never seen you boast about working in corporate America.
ME: You’ve never seen me boasting about anything, J Wheaton, because I am not a boaster, so that puts that to rest, and the remainder of your post is pure speculation on your part.
You speculate that those cuts I mentioned were likely discussed a year in advance with units being analyzed, markets evaluated, and costs calculated before any decision was made with the CEO being well aware of all the actions taking place and being accountable to the investors.
You dream like a lotus eater, J Wheaton.
Gelsinger of Intel, who has been sacked, was an incompetent A-HOLE, which is why Intel is in so much financial trouble that requires that reduction in workforce.
As to anything Trump does or doesn’t do, J Wheaton, I am not his supporter or apologist, nor do I really pay much attention to what he does or says.
As to the deficit increasing, J Wheaton, it has been doing so ever since the hapless and witless, senile Joe Biden got into office and only recently, in his last months in office, the Treasury’s public debt interest expenses rose 10% or $35 billion to $392 billion.
Cogitate on that, J Wheaton as you preach to me about taxpayer dollars going to nothing of benefit for we common folks in this country.
The money paid in interest goes to China, and Japan and other foreign countries, J Wheaton, in addition to the pockets of fat cats.
So talk to us about all the benefits we get from that absolute waste of taxpayer dollars thanks to Jo0e Biden and Janet “TOODLES” Yellen who based he borrowing on short-term debt paying four to five percent interest.
A Ponzi scheme if there ever was one, as “TOODLES,” now Trump, have to keep rolling over that debt, paying it off with new debt in an ever-increasing upward spiral.
And the made-for-TV spectacle was the Harris/Walz campaign starring the DINGBAT Gwen Walz.
J Wheaton, you are positively a real-deal, genuine, dyed-in-the-wool hoot in here, which is why the readership of the CCM is said to skyrocket to astronomical heights when you are posting in here as people from all over the world tune in to see what you have to say, and one reason you don’t hear me boasting about working in corporate America is because I don’t see anything to boast about there, and I do not idolize corporate CEO’s, nor do I think they are endowed with infallibility like Joe Stalin or the Pope.
Look at Gelsinger, for example.
But as you prattle on about the CEO being well aware of all the actions taking place and being accountable to the investors, you seem to forget, or perhaps never knew in the first place, that Elon Musk epitomizes the corporate CEO in America today, and under his guidance, Tesla has laid off thousands of employees globally since April 2024, including hundreds of jobs in California which layoffs are part of a company-wide restructuring effort led by CEO Elon Musk, so it would seem that when it comes to laying off people and closing down unproductive divisions, that Musk is well practiced at it, which should certainly make you feel very safe, J Wheaton, as well as all warm and squishy inside knowing that in your lifetime, America gained the Gulf of America.
Now, if you want to compare that with the Musk/Trump situation, they di

Reuters
“Broadcom, TSMC eye possible Intel deals to split storied chipmaker, WSJ reports”
By Reuters
February 15, 2025
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, who was ousted last year, set sky-high expectations for Intel’s manufacturing and AI capabilities among major clients but fell short, leading to the chipmaker losing or canceling contracts, Reuters reported previously.
Intel’s shares lost about 60% of their value last year as its capital-intensive bid to bolster manufacturing – a strategy championed by Gelsinger – strained the company’s cash flow and ultimately led to it cutting about 15% of its workforce.
“The moronic ” statement was a promise made by the President not by me. Trump repeatedly pledged during his campaign to immediately begin lowering prices on groceries, gas, and other consumer-related purchases. It hasn’t happened yet but I feel safer and prouder knowing that we have the Gulf of America
I wonder how much that change costs the government. Every physical map, touch every website. Where is that accounting?
Wayne, why don’t you do an article on the funding/programs that have been stopped which affects the farmers and fishermen of Delmava

Love Me, I’m a Liberal
Song by Phil Ochs ‧ 1966
I cried when they shot medgar evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot mr. kennedy
As though i’d lost a father of mine
But malcolm x got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old d.a.r.
I love harry and sidney and sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don’t talk about revolution
That’s going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
I cheered when humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I’m glad the commies were thrown out
Of the a.f.l. c.i.o. board
I love puerto ricans and negros
As long as they don’t move next door
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
The people of old mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can’t understand how their minds work
What’s the matter don’t they watch les crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
I read new republic and nation
I’ve learned to take every view
You know, i’ve memorized lerner and golden
I feel like i’m almost a jew
But when it comes to times like korea
There’s no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
I vote for the democtratic party
They want the u.n. to be strong
I go to all the pete seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I’ll send all the money you ask for
But don’t ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
Once i was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But i’ve grown older and wiser
And that’s why i’m turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal
Interesting that no one has refuted anything I said. 29% of Virginia’s revenue is provided by Federal funding. Four of the world’s five largest defense contractors are headquartered in Northern Virginia. Hampton Roads is home to the world’s largest naval base
This non-strategic reduction of government puts Virginia in the cross-hairs. You all are sitting there with the attitude “It’s not going to affect me” and you are all so wrong. It hasn’t trickled down yet. Unemployment will rise, and ancillary businesses will be forced to shut down. Adding more people to the unemployment line. State taxes will probably increase along with inflation.
Am I crying that “the sky is falling”? Who knows but you can’t say I am because no plan has been presented on the restructuring of government. Let the name calling begin but try to offer facts as to why I’m wrong in my assessment.
Editor’s Note: Give it a rest. The DoD has $3.8 trillion in assets, and maintaining Naval Station Norfolk, Pax River, Ft. Belvoir, and the Pentagon will always be part of it. Given the Indo-Pacific and Med, the Navy fudnding of Norfolk may increase (the Ford, Ike, Bush, CSG-12, as well as DESRON 2 & 26 are pretty much permanently based here, and the DoD contracts will keep flowing). Still, given the amount of money involved, DoD can’t seem to pass an audit. Same for the USDA. I lived in DC for over 25 years, cutting, trimming, freezing are not bad first steps…cut it, Move fast and break things, and if you don’t miss it…?? What is wrong with seeing where the tax dollars are really going? It’s only been four weeks, let them do the work and see where it shakes out…what are Dems so afraid of? Why wallow in fear? Isn’t it time for an adequate accounting?
CCM: Isn’t it time for an adequate accounting?
ME: It’s way past time!
