AIR FORCE: Canceling eight wasteful contracts will save We the Taxpayers several billion dollar$.

AVIATION HISTORY: On March 12, 1985, a small aircraft with a jammed landing gear was saved in mid-flight by a mechanic who stood through the sunroof of a car going 90 mph.

BORDER: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has just rolled out a new update to its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The program provides a single, reliable source for verifying immigration status and U.S. The update will help eliminate voter fraud.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR: The DoL currently has 16,800 licenses for phone lines, but in the last 30 days only 4,000 were used (24%). Canceling the unused lines will save We the Taxpayers about half a million dollars per year.

DOGE: Over the last two days, agencies terminated 120 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $908 million. Almost half of that was for “technical services” in Mozambique.

The U.S. Census Bureau has done more than 100 additional surveys costing $2.2 Billion, many of which were never used. So far, five of them have been canceled, saving We the Taxpayers from spending $16.5 million to ask Americans stupid questions like, “In your entire life, have you had at least 12 drinks of any kind of alcohol, not counting small tastes or sips?

DUMBOCRATS: Letitia James now says she “mistakenly” claimed Virginia residency in loan documents. Just like Comey says he “found” the 8647 seashells on the sea shore and had no idea what they meant.

EDUCATION: Trump is deadly serious about ending discrimination. Since Harvard has refused to comply with multiple DHS requests for information about its DEI initiatives and foreign student population’s harassment of Jewish students, Kristi Noem has issued an ultimatum. Harvard has 72 hours to comply or the ax falls. NO foreign students will be granted F- or J- non-immigrant visas. Period.

ILHAN OMAR: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1925527078104863054 [:12] to hear her refuse to express even the slightest compassion for the families of the two Israeli diplomats who were gunned down on the street in DC this week.

MAHA: CLICK https://x.com/devorydarkins/status/1925608481198850375 [2:12] to hear about Bobby Jr’s report on chronic illness in America’s children.

MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1925615286578786617 [1:17] to hear how NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor asks questions.

MEDICARE: The government, which is 7 years behind on its required audits of Medicare Advantage plans, will be caught up by the end of this year. Since various reports estimate overbilling at between $17 and $43 billion per year, these audits should result in billions of taxpayer dollars returned to the Treasury. Hmm … I remember the Biden administration hiring thousands of extra IRS staff to go after transfers as low as $600 … but they totally ignored billions in fraud? Sounds about right.

MILITARY: CLICK https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1925713884742070562 [1:46] to hear SecDef Hegseth not apologize for starting a monthly voluntary prayer service at the Pentagon. I’m guessing those who criticize this were cheering when Obama persecuted military chaplains.

One commenter on X wrote, “I worked for a Fortune 100 company. We set up an intelligence center where we would monitor global events for our assets and push out messages and warnings to employees based on where they were. We covered SA for a while. But we stopped because the events against farmers happened so frequently that they were tripping our thresholds and we were sending out too many messages to employees there. … It was 2016.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Yes.
