AIR: On Monday, Delta Connection Flight 4819 flipped over and exploded while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

CLICK https://x.com/airwaysmagazine/status/1891809438182359485 [:30] to see the landing and the moment the plane flipped. Some commenters said it looked to them like the plane was going too fast when it landed. Others said it looked like the landing gear on the right side collapsed when it hit the ground.

CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1891628534181003570 [:42] to see the plane being evacuated. Incredibly, there were no fatalities and only 18 of the 80 souls aboard were injured. Three were sent to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Delta Flight plane was operated by Endeavor Air, a small airline obsessed with all-female crews.

BORDER: On Monday, Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan tweeted, “In the last 24 hours the US Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border. That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under Biden. I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low. President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.”

JUDICIARY: Dems have filed multiple lawsuits against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). One federal judge has blocked DOGE from accessing U.S. Department of Treasury data. Two others have told the plaintiffs they have no case; one involved DOGE’s access to the Department of Education’s student financial aid data, while the other covered the Office of Personnel Management, as well as the Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Labor, and Transportation.

TRANS TERROR CULT: On Inauguration Day, a U.S. Border Patrol Officer Agent (David Maland) and a German trans man (Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt) died during a shoot-out near the Vermont-Canada border. Bauckholt, who had initiated the deadly incident, was accompanied by a Seattle trans woman (Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut), who was injured, but survived and has been charged.

Both Bauckholt and Youngblut appear to have been followers of trans man Jack (Ziz) Lasota, leader of a violent trans cult known as the Zizzians. The group appears to have also perpetrated the murders of an elderly PA couple in January 2023 and an elderly CA man on Jan. 17, 2025.

On Monday, “Ziz” (now 34) and one of his lieutenants, another trans man who goes by “Michelle” Zajko (33) were arrested in Maryland and charged with trespassing, obstructing and hindering, and possession of a handgun in the vehicle.

DOGE: Yesterday, Sen. Fetterman tweeted out a Politico article that starts – “‘Five alarm warning’: Possible DOGE access to private taxpayer data sparks outcry. The Elon Musk-run effort wants to study a system that includes tax returns, Social Security numbers and other information.”

Fetterman’s comment – “I want to save billions of your money and make our government more efficient. Rummaging through your personal shit is *not* that. A party of chaos loses—always.”

I won’t dwell on the millions Politico got for $10,000/year government subscriptions. FYI: You can buy one for $200/year or $350/2 years at the link below. Neither will I dwell on the self-projection inherent in Fetterman’s final statement, though I will laugh. A lot.

What I will share is what Elon Musk responded. “Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello??? Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second … “

The oldest American on record was Sarah Knauss who died on December 30, 1999, at the age of 119 years and 97 days. According to Musk, the government has 12+ million Americans older than that listed as “alive.” Best comment: “Damn George Washington still drawing Social Security.”

We gave Trump a mandate to cut the bloated government and get unsustainable spending under control. In its first month, DOGE et al. saved We, the American Taxpayers $51 Billion dollars. Below are highlights from last week, which – FULL TRANSPARENCY – are posted as they happen at the DOGE X site.

Friday, February 7 – The government terminated 199 wasteful contracts for a savings of ~$250 million. Our money is no longer going to “climate change mitigation adaption and resilience coordinator” for Sri Lankan forest service or a workshop for “Intercultural communication diversity dialogue circle communicating across differences.”

Monday, February 10 – The Department of Agriculture terminated 18 contracts for a total of ~$9 million. These included money allocated for “Central American gender assessment consultant services”, “Brazil forest and gender consultant services”, and the “Women in forest carbon initiative mentorship program.”

Monday, February 10 – The Department of Education terminated 29 DEI training grants totaling $101 million. One sought to train teachers to “help students understand / interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis.” Education terminated another 89 contracts worth $881 million. Among them were $4.6 million to coordinate Zoom and in-person meetings, $3.0 million contract to write a report that showed that prior reports were not utilized by schools, and $1.5 million to “observe mailing and clerical operations” at a mail center,

Wednesday, February 12 – The Department of Homeland Security recovered the full payment that FEMA deep state activists illegally sent to NYC to house illegals in hotels. One of these was the Roosevelt Hotel, which has served as a Tren de Aragua base of operations; Laken Riley’s killer stayed there. The Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan is owned by the government of Pakistan. Meanwhile, American hurricane victims are sleeping in tents.

Wednesday, February 12 – The DOGE team canceled a $25,000 award entitled “Empowering LGBTQIA+ Refugees in Greece.”

Wednesday, February 12 – Fifty-eight more cancellations with savings of more than $150 million in categories including Media, DEI, and Consulting. They included $405,000 at DHS for “resilience, energy, and sustainability management program support services” and ~$4 million at DoT for “DEIA program and project management support services.”

Wednesday, February 12 – The EPA canceled three DEI contracts, saving American taxpayers $45 million. The EPA also announced it would not be renewing Politico subscriptions, saving us another $458,919 per year.

Thursday, February 13 – The EPA canceled a $50 million Biden-era environmental justice grant to the Climate Justice Alliance, which believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine.”

Thursday, February 13 – Elon’s genius posse saved ~$115 million by canceling 167 contracts, including $2.23 million for “equity assessments of existing program policies.”

Friday, February 14 – DOGE located $1.9 billion of misplaced HUD moneys that were no longer needed.

Friday, February 14 – Lee Zeldin at EPA canceled 9 more wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice contracts, saving American taxpayers another ~$60 million. Zeldin says, “I’m just warming up! I have ZERO tolerance for even a penny of your hard-earned tax dollars to be wasted or abused.”

Friday, February 14 – In the last 48 hours, the Department of Education terminated 70 DEI training grants totaling $373 million. One was to train teachers to “engage in ongoing learning and self-reflection to confront their own biases and racism, and develop asset-based anti-racist mindsets.” In addition, the departments of education in all 50 states were sent a letter notifying them they have 14 days to remove all DEI programming in all public schools or face a loss of federal funding.

BUYOUT: About 75,000 federal workers, slightly less than four percent of the 2.3 million-person federal civil service workforce, accepted the Trump administration’s retirement buyout offer before it expired, allowing them to receive full pay and benefits until Sept. 30 while being exempt from daily attendance rules and layoffs. Since 2000, the average daily retirement total was 274. On average, the buyout offer reaped 6,250 employees each day while it was offered.

DOGE has made $3.4 billion in waste bid adieu. – The latest include a $45 million DEI scholarship in Myanmar (formerly Burma) and an $8.2 million USDA contract for “environmental compliance services for the implementation of pilot projects developed under the partnership for climate smart commodities.” The White House has also canceled $500,000 in subscriptions to Politico.

DOWNSIZING: Now that the buyout offer has terminated, the Trump administration has started sending pink slips to unnecessary members of the federal workforce. Among those who should be kicking themselves for passing on the generous buyout severance package are those whose didn’t bother to return to work after the pandemic and whose jobs were deemed nonessential during the last government shutdown. This would include more than half of the IRS workforce. Some of these latter may have a future in border security, however, as Tom Homan reportedly believes their skills could be used to hunt down illegals.

FEMA: An audit of pandemic-related funds from January 2020 to 2023, found that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mismanaged nearly $10 billion by failing “to follow established requirements when delivering Public Assistance funding.” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin announced that FEMA is terminating four officials involved in the misuse of funds, including the agency’s Chief Financial Officer.
