BOOTY JUDGE: Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg once claimed that roads are racist. Now he’s got aspirations for higher office and has read the Trump writing on the wall. As one of the few Democrats who are not doubling down on crazy, he recently said, “What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people’s different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for? Or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of Portlandia, which I have also experienced. It is how it is how Trump Republicans are made. If that comes to your workplace with the best of intentions but doesn’t actually get at what actually matters here.”

WISCONSIN: Gov. Tony Evers (D) says he supports a Democrat Senate bill that would replace the word “mother” with the word “inseminated person” and replace the word “husband” with the word “spouse.” “Inseminated” is how farmers talk about dairy cows.

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.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray today for our loved ones who do not love You. Please open their minds and hearts to Your beauty, Your truth, and Your healing love. And, help us to be good to them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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: Fourteen states — Arizona, Michigan, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington — have sued, asking the court to bar Musk and his DOGE team from access data systems or make changes to the disbursement of public funds, government contracts, regulations or personnel.

DOGE: Roses are red, violets are blue. 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.

EU: Vice President J.D. Vance gave Europe a well deserved scolding in a very meaty speech. [19:40] – The tragedy he refers to occurred the day before his speech when an Afghani Islamic extremist deliberately drove his car into a crowd, injuring at least 28 people, including children, and some critically. The perp is a 24-year-old man who BBC described as a migrant seeking asylum from the Islamic extremist government in his native land. Wait, wut? He is also allegedly known to police for previous offenses, which begs the question a second time. Why he was still in Germany?

LOUISIANA: The state’s Surgeon General Ralph Abraham had ordered his staff to stop engaging in media campaigns and community health fairs to encourage vaccinations.

MEDIA: In 2022, Trump filed a lawsuit again the Pulitzer Prize panel’s award to the New York Times and the Washington Post for pushing the false “Russian collusion” narrative. The Pulitzer Prize Board filed a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed. On Wednesday, appellate court in Florida unanimously denied the motion. In his written concurrence, Judge Ed Artau affirmed that the trial court had jurisdiction over the defendants and concluded that the issues in the lawsuit are actionable.

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.

Trump says individual states should handle disaster response. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, whose department oversees FEMA, suggested President Trump should do to FEMA what he did to USAID.

Noem announce that 80% of the remaining Hurricane Helene/FEMA cases were resolved during the first 20 days of the Trump administration, providing $54 million for 2,600 families that needed assistance.

TARIFFS: Yesterday, Trump signed off on a plan to enact reciprocal tariffs on U.S. trading partners. In short, reciprocal tariffs mean that “whatever countries charge the United States of America, we will charge—no more no less.” He said both our friends and our foes have been using their tariffs very unfairly to harm the U.S economy. For example, Germany has been able to sell eight times as many cars to us as we do to them. “Those days are over.”
