BORDER: Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia (photo) has been in the news a lot lately. Here is a summary of the situation – In 2011, Abrego Garcia entered the U.S. illegally, allegedly to escape gang threats in his home country of El Salvador. In 2019, an immigration judge granted him “withholding of removal” status, based on the alleged gang threat. This status allowed him to live and work legally in the United States. He married a U.S. citizen and has had children with her.

On March 15, 2025, he was deported to El Salvador under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act as an MS-13 gang member, which is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. He was subsequently imprisoned without trial in the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, despite never having been charged with or convicted of a crime in either country.

Despite the Democrat media machine ginning up massive support for this man, the Trump administration has held firmly to its claim that he is a high level leader in MS-13 who has facilitated human trafficking. In addition, his wife took out a restraining order following a beating by her husband; she now says they are working things out and she wants him back.

On April 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Abrego Garcia’s removal to El Salvador was illegal and ordered the Trump administration to “facilitate” his return. The administration said they would meet this obligation by providing a plane and admitting him into the U.S. if El Salvador chooses to release him. But President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador says he will not “smuggle a terrorist into the United States.”

On April 16, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen (D) went to El Salvador to see Abrego Garcia. Van Hollen, who voted against The Laken Riley Act, was told he didn’t give the prison enough notice to see the prisoner.

Also on April 16, the Trump administration released their evidence that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 in good standing.

HAIKU APPRECIATION DAY: Yes, there really is such a thing. And, ta da! It’s today! Glass ballerina is my favorite of the haikus I have composed. I also googled Facebook and found some haiku groups. This posting by Linda Rivas Bole caught my attention –

MILITARY: In late March, the Pentagon began investigating leaks of national security information that was only available to a handful of high level personnel. On Tuesday, Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick were escorted out of the Pentagon by security.

UK: The British Supreme Court just ruled on a case about whether a trans-identifying man with a “gender recognition certificate” that legally recognizes him as female is protected from discrimination as a woman under the 2010 Equality Act. The court said no; the legal definition of “woman” is based on biology and does not include trans-identifying men who say they are women. In response to the ruling, the British government said it supports “single-sex spaces.”

DOGE: The US African Development Foundation has terminated $51 million in grants, including: $229,296 for marketing 100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso; $84,059 for a business incubator for spa & wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria; $239,738 for marketing pineapple juice in Benin; $246,217 for mango drying facilities in the Ivory Coast; $99,566 to increase yogurt production in Uganda; $48,406 for a WhatsApp marketing chatbot in Kenya; and $50,000 to train farmers to grow dragonfruit in Senegal.

I saw some comments about these being worthy causes. The problem is that, when you’re in debt, your extra money belongs to your creditors. It is not yours to give away, regardless of how worthy the cause. The USA is trillions of dollars in debt.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you for the wisdom to know what You want us to say, the courage to speak when what You want said may be unpopular, and the serenity to keep our pie holes shut when now is not Your time. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Thanks to years of work by Judicial Watch, more than five million ineligible voter registrations have been removed from the rolls in California, Colorado, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Other voter roll clean-up lawsuits by Judicial Watch continue in Illinois, Oregon, and California.

FIGHT: [9:10] – “Fight is the backstage story of bloodsport politics in its rawest form—the clawing, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing that drove Donald Trump into the White House and Democrats into the wilderness. At every turn, the combatants went for the jugular, whether they were facing down rivals in the other party or their own.”

IGNORANCE: Grandpa is rolling in his grave that his offspring think Trump is a fascist. Grandpa also knew how to spell “fascist.” But hey, kudos for the cute reference to Harry Potter.

J6 COMMITTEE: Biden gave them all a presidential pardon. If they did everything right, why did they need to be pardoned?

JOBS: During Biden’s years, the jobs reports were consistently lower than the predictions. Then, later on, they had to revise their reported numbers down even more, because they had inflated the reports. The opposite is now true. The newest March jobs report exceeded expectations by more than 50%. And they didn’t even need to fudge the numbers to do it.

SCOTUS: The Supremes have granted Trump permission to continue withholding $250 million in Department of Education grants that would fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

GRAMMY NOTES: My heart breaks for this little one. My mother couldn’t get 3 seats together on a flight, so decided I (age 11) should sit alone with a stranger while she enjoyed the company of her favorite child (age 21). The stranger spilled boiling hot coffee on me and said nothing except to demand a refill from the attendant. I am 70 now and this memory still hurts. I can’t imagine how this little girl felt, riding all alone in the BAGGAGE CAR! I can only hope she had a kind attendant like the one who put cold water on my burned leg and helped me feel better.

This week at DOGE

DOGE: The savings live tracker is a very welcome change from the anxiety-inducing Debt Clock!

MARCH 28, 2025: Over the last 3 days, agencies terminated 121 wasteful contracts saving We The Taxpayers $156 million. These included a $1.6 Million DEI contract for “strategies for implementing ‘social emotional’ learning” and a $143,000 DOT contract for “social media support services.”

MARCH 31, 2025: A 2023 IG report (title page above) pointed out that nearly $5 Billion in COVID era funds remained unused. Nobody did anything about it. DOGE recently recovered $1.4 Billion and it to the Treasury general account. The team is moving urgently to get the rest.

MARCH 31, 2025: Today, agencies canceled 109 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $420 million. One of these was a $2.7 Million Commerce Department contract for “marketing consulting services outreach and engagement support services.”

EPA: CLICK https://x.com/epaleezeldin/status/1906776086412767560 [2:10] to hear how much money the Biden administration wasted on one extraordinarily stupid project. CLICK the Wikipedia link below to read about the man the museum lionized.

USIP: Each year, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) receives $55 Million in congressional (taxpayer) funds. According to DOGE, they would sweep millions of this money into a private endowment over which there was no congressional oversight). Trump vowed to dismantle the agency and sent DOGE in. A private accountant to whom USIP had paid $2,232,500 attempted to delete over 1 Terabyte of accounting data after DOGE entered the building. DOGE has recovered the data which allowed them to learn how much waste and fraud they wanted to hide. Among these was $13 Million spent on private events and travel.

SOCIAL SECURITY: DOGE has been cleaning out the data base. The graphic shows the people over 120 years who had been correctly marked as deceased as of March 31. Two million more to go.

APRIL 2, 2025: Today, agencies terminated 80 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers another $139.1 Million. One of these was $2.1 Million State Department management consulting contract for a “senior advisor” in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

VETERAN AFFAIRS: Until recently, the VA was paying ~$380,000/month for minor website modifications. That contract has not been renewed and the same work is now being performed by one internal VA software engineer who needs about ten hours per week to keep the website up-to-date.

APRIL 2, 2025: Today, agencies cancelled 47 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers another $30.2 million. One of these was a $3.4 million State Department management consulting contract for “aviation advisors” in Kenya.

LABOR DEPARTMENT: On April 3, Acting Secretary Sonderling announced the cancellation of wasteful DEI contracts that will save We the Taxpayers $15 million. Among these were:

  1. $6.7 Million for the California State Library to “enhance equitable library programs”;
  2. $1.5 Million for the Connecticut State Library system to “integrate social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion” into their daily work;
  3. $400,000 for the University of Tennessee to study “LGBTQ+ library users’ metadata”;
  4. $265,000 for Queens College in New York to research “why BIPOC teens” read Japanese comic books;
  5. $250, 000 to erect “LGBTQ+ historical markers” across Ohio;
  6. $140,000 for the University of South Carolina to create “safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals” in libraries; and,
  7. $105,000 to California Association of Museums to address “systemic racism” in museums.

APRIL 4, 2025: The DOGE IT team just saved We the Taxpayers $1 million per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent, modern digital records.

DAILY PRAYER: Lorelai is a relative of a relative. I’ll keep you posted as much as possible about her progress.

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE: It’s too often true that the name Democrats give their bills tell us the opposite of what its provisions do if they are made into law. According to a new report by CBS News, “Health care is so expensive that 31 million U.S. adults, or 12%, had to borrow a total of $74 billion last year to obtain medical care, new data shows. That includes people with health insurance, making such numbers even more troubling.”

AIR: There are reasons why air crews should not be DEI’d by gender. Pilots should be predominantly male, because they are better at spatial awareness and single-mindedness; flight attendants should be predominantly female, because we are better at nurturing and multi-tasking.

AL GREEN: The House voted 224-198 to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for disrupting President Trump’s address to Congress by yelling and angrily shaking his cane. Security guards had to forcibly remove Green and 10 Democrats rightfully joined Republicans in the vote to censure.

But then the corrupt Democrats decided to sing “We Shall Overcome” to show their support for Green’s bad behavior. That song is about overcoming violence via peaceful protest. The second verse says, “We’ll walk hand in hand.” The third verse says, “We will live in peace.”

Breitbart says 80% of speech viewers polled also disapproved of his behavior. The Dems’ own John Fetterman (PA) called his colleagues put on “a sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance” that only made “Trump look more presidential and restrained.”

CATHOLIC: ❤ this!

MAHA: The porky governor of Illinois tweeted, “RFK Jr’s views are dangerous, misguided, and deeply disturbing. Frankly, his policies will hurt people. I will push back on any attempts to disrupt the health and safety of Illinoisans.” Best response: “You don’t have to exert yourself to pushing back. You can just lean against it, that’ll suffice.”

MAINE: After Republican Rep. Laurel Libby sent out a social media post about the high school track team that only won the state championship because of the male who competed as a female, the Maine House’s Democratic majority voted to censure her. Libby is now no longer allowed to speak on the house floor or vote until she issues an apology. She says she does not plan to apologize.

Wikipedia’s article says about this incident: “Libby gained national attention after posting an unblurred photo of a transgender teen on Facebook criticizing both the underaged girl and the school for allowing her to participate with other female players.” The “girl” in question is 100% dude. He doesn’t look like he’s even socially transitioned, much less taken hormones!

The very first sentence in Wikipedia’s article on Libby says, “Laurel Dawson Munsell Libby is an American anti-vaccine activist, Republican politician.” Her big “anti-vaccine” position? Opposing a 2019 Maine law eliminating religious and philosophical exemptions for childhood vaccinations. She has also spoken out against COVID mandates (gasp) and even participated in a mask-mandate protest during which she and several of her colleagues entered the capitol building (double gasp) without masks.

PRESIDENTIAL APPROVALS: [26:18] – If you’ve heard about how Trump’s approvals are crashing, you might want to watch this. Keep in mind that Rasmussen had the best numbers during the campaign. Also, keep in mind that polls asking approval for what Trump has done so far with the border and government spending – the two biggest things he’s been working on – are polling at plus 70.

SOCIAL SECURITY: The SSA has made moves to eliminate DEI, waste, and fraud. The Office of Transformation and ties with DEI research centers are gone, moves that will save approximately $15 million. In addition, the Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight into other existing parts of the agency.

Trump assured us that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits won’t be touched by his administration “other than if there’s fraud or something.” However, they are clearing the roles of people who are dead or here illegally.

I suspect this may be a prank designed to get liberal heads exploding … kinda like that tweet where Trump called himself “The King.” But who knows for sure?

ANIMAL TORTURE: On Feb. 6, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing entitled “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.” Justin Goodman of the White Coat Waste Project (WCW) watchdog group reported on the millions taxpayers have spent on “transgender animal testing.” One guess who authorized 95% of this demonic activity.

“In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys, who are being surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male or male to female gender transitions, gender-affirming hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you’ve transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you’ve put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them.”

Goodman said the WCW estimates that more than $20 billion has been spent on ineffective animal research. Rep. Mace (R-SC) noted, “We spent over $1 million to find out if female rats receiving testosterone therapy were more likely to overdose on a date rape drug. That’s what your taxpayer dollars were being spent on.”

BORDER: [10:07] – The estimated social benefit cost to each illegal is $130,000. And the Dems said that spending $5 billion to finish building Trump’s wall would be too expensive. “President Trump is committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” a White House fact sheet on the executive order said.

Re: rebate – I’m all for paying down debt. But I’ve also got a molar that could really use 5 grand.

HIRED/FIRED: The Senate has approved Howard Lutnick, Trump’s choice to head up the Commerce Department. Lutnick is a staunch supporter of Trump’s economic policies.

KANSAS: God bless the Kansas state Republicans who, on Tuesday, voted 31-9 in the state Senate and 85-34 in the state House to override the veto their woke governor slapped on the “Help Not Harm Act.” The new law bans doctors from performing transgender surgeries on minors or putting them on cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. Kansas is now the 27th state to legislate gender protections for minors.

ROB SCHNEIDER: [2:08:57] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h5XQlrLT8qo to hear a clip from his interview with Tucker Carlson. I am listening to the interview now.

UPDATE: YouTube censored the section about COVID vaccines. You can watch the full interview @ https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-rob-schneider.

GRAMMY NOTES: I was pondering what a “sacrifice of praise” means to me and was reminded of a story I heard once. A devout pastor was struggling with depression after his daughter lost her leg to cancer. When he asked a colleague for help, the man said, “Praise God.” The depressed pastor said his spiritual life was totally dry and he didn’t feel any joy or love or gratitude etc. The colleague said, “Praise Him anyway. It’s not about your feelings. It’s about the fact that God is good in all things and through all things.” I learned from that how to be grateful and praise God even on my worst days.
