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. The daring rescue took place on a runway in St. Augustine, Florida, and remains one of the most unbelievable moments in aviation history.

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.

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.

NORTH CAROLINA: Charlotte City Councilwoman Tiawana Brown and her daughters, Antoinette and Tijema, have been indicted on federal charges of fraudulent use of COVID loans intended to support small businesses through the lockdowns.

The indictment says $15,000 of that money went to pay for a birthday party for Tiawana Brown. Word has it the party included a throne and a horse-drawn carriage. Brown says she paid the money back. Before serving on the City Council, Brown served four years in federal prison for fraud. She is also the founder of Beauty after the Bars(501c3), an advocacy organization committed to helping formerly incarcerated women.

GRAMMY NOTES: Yes.

Virginia Republican Rep. Ben Cline published an open letter to constituents last week that I think is worth passing on to y’all. His intention was to dispel the lies Democrats have been spewing in what he described as their “scripted outrage” over Trump’s aggressive efforts to cut federal spending before our nation goes into bankruptcy. The link to his letter is at the end. The graphics are my addition.

President Donald Trump “has Article II constitutional authority to appoint individuals who can help execute their vision for the federal government. Most recently, President Trump designated Elon Musk as a ‘special government employee,’ which is defined by Section 202 of Title 18 of the United States Code. President Trump’s decision to enlist Mr. Musk is a bold step toward strengthening America’s technological leadership and eliminating bureaucratic inefficiencies. This appointment is fully within the President’s discretion and is no different from past administrations appointing industry experts to key cabinet, advisory, and operational roles.”

“Musk is not a private citizen being given ‘unprecedented access to personal or sensitive information,’ as the extreme left would lead you to believe. Mr. Musk holds some of the highest-level security clearances as a key defense contractor and his work is integral to ensuring U.S. military superiority. As you are aware, the rocket systems and satellites his companies produce are used across the federal government, including in the Department of Defense, and his Starlink system has been critical in supporting U.S. allies abroad. There are few, if any, private individuals who have done more to advance America’s technological and defense capabilities in modern history. If there is anyone qualified to bring the federal government into the 21st century and improve its efficiency, it is Elon Musk.”

“The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is an essential initiative to reduce wasteful spending, cut bureaucratic red tape, and modernize government technology. On his first day in office, President Trump legally integrated DOGE into the federal government by way of an executive order renaming the U.S. Digital Service as the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS). Fully authorized under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), USDS will enhance government productivity and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. Each executive agency’s DOGE Team works in coordination with agency heads in order to ensure the implementation of President Trump’s DOGE agenda. Treasury Secretary Scott [Bessent] has already approved DOGE’s lawful access to unclassified records and systems to facilitate this integration.”

“​​There is no evidence to support the allegation that Elon Musk or his team has unlawfully accessed or seized the sensitive data. Any access to citizen data is strictly regulated, and the role of DOGE is focused on modernizing outdated systems, not compiling private information. The real threat to Americans’ privacy has come from an unchecked bureaucracy that has mismanaged data security for decades. The reforms proposed by President Trump and implemented by individuals like Mr. Musk are designed to prevent government overreach, not expand it.”

“Additionally, to ensure proper legislative oversight of these efforts, I am proud to serve as a member of the new DOGE Caucus here in Congress. This caucus will work alongside President Trump to introduce reforms that streamline government operations, eliminate inefficiencies, and restore fiscal responsibility in Washington.”

CANCEL NOT: The mainstream media threw a hissy fit this week upon discovering that an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency was a 19-year-old who had made controversial social media posts under the name “Big Balls.” Musk asked his X followers their opinion; 78% of them agreed with Vance. Musk sealed the deal with a post saying, “To err is human, to forgive divine.”

CONGRESS: In January, Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) – the first trannie elected to the U.S. Congress – was denied access to the women’s bathrooms. To his credit, he agreed to use single user bathrooms.

COURTS: After 19 state attorneys general sued to keep DOGE out of Treasury Department records, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer limited access to those working at the Bureau of Fiscal Services who have passed background checks.

A coalition of labor unions filed suit on Feb. 5 seeking to prevent DOGE from gaining access to Labor Department records. U.S. District Judge John Bates denied the suit, saying the “plaintiffs have failed to establish standing.”

DEI: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qET1GnSZAH8 to hear Nick Freitas riff on the difficulties HR departments are facing in the Trump era.

DOGE: Musk and his crew uncovered the Treasury Department’s “utterly insane” payment system, by which between $50 and $100 billion in fraudulent payments go out annually.

One of the most significant changes taking place will be payment categorization codes. According to Musk, these codes are essential for financial audits, yet they are frequently left blank, making it nearly impossible to track where taxpayer dollars are going. Can you imagine a business surviving a single IRS audit if half its outgoing moneys had no code?

Another reform involves weekly or even daily updates to the Treasury’s Do-Not-Pay list, which is meant to prevent payments to fraudulent entities, deceased individuals, suspected terrorist fronts, and other entities or people who should not be paid by federal agencies. Musk said that this list has not been regularly updated or strictly enforced.

These changes will be made by the Treasury Department, not by DOGE.

LABOR: [15:42] – Democrats have been trying to eliminate 14c certificates that allow sheltered workshops to provide jobs for the disabled. Their rationale was that allowing employers to hire disabled people for sub-minimum wage was a form of wage discrimination. In fact, sheltered workshops employ people who cannot function at a level that allows businesses to pay them minimum wage. Without 14c certificates, these people wouldn’t have the pride of earning a pay check, but would be left to sit on their behinds all day, every day in care facilities.

The fact that they get paid sub-minimum wage does not mean they are living hand-to-mouth; they all qualify for additional assistance, such as SSI. Likewise, the existence of sheltered workshops is not preventing disabled workers who are capable of competing in the workplace if provided with reasonable accommodations (as required by the ADA). In fact, it seems perfectly reasonable to me to suppose that some disabled workers could develop a marketable skill in a sheltered workshop, then transition if they chose to do so.

Trump put a stop to Dems’ efforts, something that has not been reported in the news.

USAID: How it started … how it’s going … going … GONE! Trump has eliminated USAID and is in the process of laying off all but 290 of its 13,000 staffers, saving taxpayers tens of billion$. The handful of genuinely helpful programs will now be administered by the State Department which, unlike USAID, knows it is part of the executive branch of the U.S. government.

SecState Rubio said, “We had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this thing under control.” They were being “completely uncooperative,” acting like “they’re not even a U.S. government agency” but rather “a global charity” spending taxpayer money “irrespective of … [our] national interest.”
