The folks in this article must have taken the Clinton’s modern math course years ago when 4+4 could equal whatever they wanted it to be. Bidenomics ravaged our country and they still don’t understand – you can’t help others if you can’t help yourself – borrowing money has to stop.
Haven’t they ever heard – THAT CHARITY STARTS AT HOME?
The people in this article undoubtedly don’t know much about money.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk is being schooled about the impacts of his foreign aid cuts that one reporter says have already killed people.
When he came into office, President Donald Trump created the “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” by executive order and tasked Musk with the responsibility. That initiative has been behind the upheaval and dismantling of government agencies. Websites, grants, programs, and employees have been cut or frozen under the promise that Trump will save taxpayers trillions.
“No one has died as a result of a brief pause to do a sanity check on foreign aid funding,” Musk wrote on X. “No one.”
New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof, who visited South Sudan and Nairobi, Kenya, spoke to MSNBC on Wednesday morning about his bombshell report on the impact of the foreign aid cuts on communities there.
Kristof’s piece explained that some “have already died” due to Trump and Musk’s cuts.
He said, “It’s great” that a judge has restored email access to USAID employees who were put on administrative leave, but that isn’t enough.
“This doesn’t actually reverse the cancellation of programs that were keeping people alive,” said Kristof. “And so, at the end of the day, kids in places like South Sudan are still dying, still not getting their nutritional support.”
He specifically recalled visiting a maternity clinic in Sudan, where maternity care has not traditionally existed.
He went to the clinic and began asking questions, and the patients began thinking he was responsible for the clinic.
“And everybody is thanking me. They’re thanking America for its generosity. They’re saying that women are safe here now. A woman who was then in labor wants to name her baby after me,” he continued.
He said they don’t know that the clinic is about to close due to the cuts from the Trump administration.
“And those women, again, are going to be bleeding to death in the dust there,” he told MSNBC. “I mean, that’s just, you know, when you see in front of you these pregnant women who were now were going to be left to to die in childbirth. It just breaks your heart.”
He pointed out that Americans celebrate a firefighter who rescues a child. However, “American taxpayers have been doing that on a huge scale with USAID.”
“And this was a kind of heroic thing that the U.S. had done. But that just ended in January,” he explained.

Their vision must be that the U.S. has been harvesting MONEY trees in our country?
When is someone going to “spank” Soros since his money put these outlaws in their positions?
Again, after all, the American people elected Trump not primarily to lower costs, but to restore a constitutional republic. And frequent references to the Constitution, which judicial tyranny necessitates, will help turn public opinion in the right direction.
Article III of the United States Constitution makes one remedy for judicial tyranny as plain as language can make it.
“The judicial Power of the United States,” Section I of Article III begins, “shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”
With that plain language undoubtedly in mind, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida took to the social media platform X Wednesday morning to offer a historically plausible solution to the problem of inferior federal judges who have insisted upon “sabotaging” President Donald Trump’s popular agenda.
“Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases in the first place,” DeSantis wrote.
Moreover, the governor noted that congressional Republicans dropped the ball on this issue.
“The sabotaging of President Trump’s agenda by ‘resistance’ judges was predictable — why no jurisdiction-stripping bills tee’d up at the onset of this Congress?” DeSantis added.
Then, in a follow-up tweet, the governor offered practical advice about how to sidestep Senate Democrats.
“Attach it to a ‘must pass’ bill…,” DeSantis wrote.
Of course, that part of the equation makes DeSantis’ remedy far less plausible.
After all, as they showed during last week’s debate over a government shutdown, Democrats do not recognize “must-pass” bills. And this time, not even Democrat Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer would help Republicans eliminate liberal courts.
MAGA thinks Supreme Court will let Trump get away with anything: Strategist.
Still, Republicans must make these sorts of arguments regardless of their prospects for legislative success. If nothing else, they bring before the public mind the constitutional fact of judicial inferiority.
As the Constitution indicates, Congress has no power over the Supreme Court. Nor should it. If it did, it would violate the separation of powers.
Nonetheless, Congress’ power to “ordain and establish” inferior courts also necessarily means the power to abolish said courts.
To put it another way, the Constitution, not Congress, created the Supreme Court. Thus, only the sovereign people, by amending the Constitution, could abolish the highest court.
The Constitution, however, did not create the inferior courts. It merely authorized Congress to do so, which means that Congress also could abolish those courts. And it should make that attempt in order to crush the current judicial insurrection.
For instance, on Saturday the politically, constitutionally, and morally inferior U.S. District Judge James Boasberg demonstrated the hubris of unchecked judicial tyranny when he presumed to order the Trump administration to return to America a pair of deportation flights filled with more than 250 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, whom Trump had ordered deported after invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
Neither the president nor congressional Republicans have an obligation to yield to Boasberg’s usurped authority.
In fact, the entire spectacle calls to mind the early days of the American republic.
President Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1800 so alarmed the hitherto ruling Federalists — the establishment of their day and, ironically, the authors of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act — that they viewed the judiciary as a bulwark against the Jefferson administration’s populist-inspired and ultimately successful efforts to radically shrink the size and scope of the federal government.
“[I]f we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy,” Jefferson wrote in 1802.
With that spirit in mind, Republicans in Congress (not the Republicans of today) took aim at the Federalist-dominated judiciary. Among other things, they used the Judiciary Act of 1802 to eliminate 16 judgeships.
All of this re-entered the public mind in recent days.
On Sunday, in fact, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich made this very point about the Jefferson Era.
“Those upset by the emerging dictatorship of district court justices behaving as though they were president should read the Judiciary Act of 1802,” Gingrich wrote on X. “Jefferson and his party completely revised the court system and abolished a series of federalist judges they deemed illegitimate. A warning to the current out of control judiciary.”
Former GOP congressional candidate Michael Cassidy agreed.
“The Judiciary Act of 1802 (signed by Thomas Jefferson) eliminated and restructured several federal courts over partisanship concerns. The old judges lost their seats. The Republic didn’t collapse when that happened. Perhaps something to consider once more,” Cassidy wrote Wednesday on X.
God does work in mysterious ways, so it stands to reason that the present judicial tyranny could trigger meaningful reform.
Again, after all, the American people elected Trump not primarily to lower costs, but to restore a constitutional republic. And frequent references to the Constitution, which judicial tyranny necessitates, will help turn public opinion in the right direction.
In short, when Americans actually read Article III of the Constitution, they cannot help but draw the same conclusions that DeSantis and Gingrich did, and they will draw those conclusions regardless of whether or not DeSantis’ specific recommended strategy bears legislative fruit.
Elon Musk reveals DOGE found 14 ‘magic money computers’.
‘Ted Cruz and Elon Musk discover the bombshell fact that MMT is true,’ wrote leftist author and Current Affairs editor Nathan J. Robinson. ‘They’re actually kinda correct. The federal government issues money out of thin air. It’s not like a household that needs to have a dollar before spending it. The gov is the *issuer* of the dollar—so it creates it. We can either use it to pay for healthcare or fund wars overseas,’ wrote ‘The Debt Collective.’ ‘Bitcoin fixes this,’ added Jameson Lopp with a more favorable look on Musk diagnosing the issue, as many of Trump and Musks fans were shocked.
Ted Cruz hosted the ‘First Buddy’ and richest man on earth on his Verdict podcast Monday and Musk did not disappoint in taking listeners inside DOGE and brought up one shocking discovery after gaining access to the Treasury Department. ‘One of the things you told me about is what you called magic money computers,’ Cruz said. ‘You may think that government computers all talk to each other, they all synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere and its coherent and that the numbers you’re presented as a Senator are actually the real numbers. They’re not,’ he said.
‘They’re mostly at the Treasury, some are at HHS, one or two at State, there’s some at DOD, I think we’ve found 14 magic money computers,’ Musk explained. He added: ‘They just send money out of nothing,’ alleging that they fabricate payments and send them worldwide. Some liberal critics noted that what Musk discovered are the tenets of what’s called Modern Monetary Theory, which suggests governments do not need to worry about accumulating debt since they can pay interest by printing money.

Laura Windsor suggested: ‘Either Elon is dumb, which we know he’s not, or this is a cynical ploy to undermine trust in Treasury. @SecScottBessent should tell us whether he agrees with this.’ Elsewhere in the episode, Elon discussed what DOGE is doing, claimed there had been ‘attempts on his life,’ and posited what life on Earth would look like in ten years. Trump and Musk have argued that the government is wasteful and bloated. DOGE claims it has saved $105 billion in cuts, but it has only publicly documented a fraction of those savings, and its accounting has been plagued by errors.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has led the charge to slash the federal workforce under the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but its chief spokesperson appears to be completely off-message. DOGE has faced intense scrutiny in recent weeks for its chaotic handling of layoffs, particularly its firing of key federal employees only to attempt to rehire them later. Among those affected were workers responsible for maintaining nuclear weapons sites across the US, a move that has raised serious national security concerns and Musk and his allies are now face mounting pressure to reassess their approach.
Some terminations are part of the Education Department’s ‘final mission,’ alluding to Trump’s vow to eliminate the department, which oversees $1.6 trillion in college loans, enforces civil rights laws in schools and provides federal funding for needy districts. The layoffs would leave the department with 2,183 workers, down from 4,133 when Trump took office in January. Similar closures served as a precursor to shuttering the headquarters of the US Agency for International Development, the humanitarian aid agency, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which protects Americans against unscrupulous lenders.
So far, DOGE has cut more than 100,000 jobs across the 2.3 million-member federal civilian bureaucracy, frozen most foreign aid and canceled thousands of programs and contracts, despite dozens of lawsuits challenging the legality of those moves. DOGE’s blunt approach has frustrated several White House officials and Republican lawmakers, some of whom have confronted angry constituents at town halls. Trump told department heads last week that they, not Musk, have the final say on staffing, his first notable public move to restrain the Tesla CEO.
All US government agencies have been ordered to come up with large-scale layoff plans by Thursday, setting up the next phase of Trump’s cost-cutting campaign. Several agencies have offered employees payments to retire early to fulfill Trump’s demand. Affected Education Department employees will be placed on administrative leave starting on March 21, the department said. Other agencies have offered lump-sum payments of up to $25,000 before tax to workers who agree to leave their jobs. Among these are the Office of Personnel Management, the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, including its Food and Drug Administration.
This is why the left stays so confused. It is not the Trump policies that are under water – it’s the left who fail to grasp the understanding of the subject matter.
Let’s call Mr. Musk and order some of his new AI brain chips which will help the left’s dilemma. It has to be hard on all reporters to master the amount of work that is moving the country forward. They never had to worry during the Biden administration due to the lack of information..
According to Musk:
It’s OK to be wrong.Just don’t be confident and wrong.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Associated Press reporter Josh Boak of “failing” to see President Trump’s “long-term economic strategy” in a Sunday interview, days after he sparred with her over tariffs during a press briefing.
“He [Boak] clearly fails to see President Trump’s long-term economic strategy, which is to bring in so much revenue, so much wealth into our country through tariffs, that we can give larger tax cuts to the American people to put more money back into their pockets,” Leavitt told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Leavitt’s comments came after Tuesday’s press briefing, when Boak asked about Trump’s address at the Business Roundtable (BRT) quarterly meeting that was slated to occur shortly after.
He claimed that despite Trump touting tax cuts during his last BRT meeting in 2024, he is now pushing “tax hikes” through tariffs.
Boak pressed further despite Leavitt’s objection, saying, “I’m curious why he is prioritizing that over tax cuts.
“He is actually not implementing tax hikes,” Leavitt responded. “Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries that, again, have been ripping us off. Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people, and the president is a staunch advocate of tax cuts.”
The spat escalated when Boak insisted that importers, not foreign companies, bear the brunt of tariffs, asking, “I’m sorry, have you paid a tariff? Because I have.”
Karoline Leavitt blasts ‘insulting’ question from AP reporter on tariffs.
Leavitt fired back, calling it “insulting” for Boak to try “to test [her] knowledge of economics and the decisions that [Trump] has made.”
Revisiting the spat on Sunday, Leavitt called out the broader mainstream media for focusing on “sensationalism… rather than asking tough questions with honest integrity and journalistic curiosity.”
“That’s why the trust in the mainstream media has fallen to record lows, and that’s why, at the White House, we are very proud of the changes that we have made to the briefing room and also to the press coverage of this president, welcoming in independent voices and new media who truly care about the truth, honesty and accuracy.”
Karoline Leavitt argues Trump tariffs are ‘looking out’ for workers.
