Remember when the Democrats showed their anger with DOGE? And, Musk cars/dealerships’ were burned, looted, and destroyed because he was uncovering the Democrats’ corruption?
Well DOGE is still on the job doing its job but with Dr. Oz at the helm in his new area of responsibility.
Good job, Dr. Oz. Keep up the good work by finding the people’s money and saving it.
Dr. Mehmet Oz is wasting no time shaking up Washington’s bloated healthcare bureaucracy. Now officially sworn in as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under President Trump’s second term, Dr. Oz has declared open season on fraud, waste, and abuse—and the numbers he’s uncovering are enough to make your blood boil.
Appearing on America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer, Dr. Oz laid it out plainly: “Right now, my main focus, without any question, is to wage a war on fraud, waste, and abuse — because that’s what’s required. All hands on deck.” Finally, someone at CMS who’s not interested in protecting the D.C. status quo.
Under President Trump’s clear directive to “love and cherish Medicare and Medicaid,” Dr. Oz has launched a full-fledged “war room” to hunt down the parasites bleeding these programs dry. And the early returns are jaw-dropping. In just a matter of weeks, Dr. Oz’s team has flagged tens of billions of dollars in fraud and misuse, from duplicate Medicare registrations across states, to DEI nonsense and union childcare payouts totally unrelated to healthcare.
To put a finer point on it:
$1 billion wasted on individuals fraudulently registered in multiple states.
$200 million blown on housekeeping services.
$10 million misdirected to student loan repayments instead of life-saving treatments.
$14 million down the drain on DEI initiatives.
250,000 ineligible people siphoning off marketplace resources.
And Democrats have the nerve to call this “caring for the vulnerable”? Give me a break.
Dr. Oz made it crystal clear: this isn’t about cutting benefits for the elderly, children, or the disabled. It’s about stopping organized criminals—sometimes with ties to foreign adversaries—from looting the American taxpayer. Just last week, $31 million in fraudulent claims were stopped cold before the money even left CMS, thanks to new technology and real oversight.
Of course, predictably, clowns like Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are screeching about “gutting” Medicare and Medicaid. Schumer claims Trump’s team only cares about the “billionaire class” (hilarious coming from a guy who’s been on Wall Street’s payroll for decades), and AOC is back to fearmongering about cuts that aren’t happening.
Dr. Oz shut them down: “The existential threat is spending it into the ground so we don’t have the resources to take care of our most vulnerable.”
Again – imagine that—saving Medicare and Medicaid by actually protecting it from corruption. That’s the America First way.
Of course – they do. Why would they trust the Democrats who stole our taxpayer money, hid our taxpayer money, lied to the people, and still won’t help President Trump clean up the mess they left behind, and still can believe they lost the election.
The leftie media/DEMOCRATS are trying to blame President Trump for what is happening to the economy. It is their spending and stealing that is causing the problems and until the tariffs kick in to PUMP UP the economy with more CASH – WE WILL SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRTS. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
So, when you see the Democrats/leftie media moaning and groaning – just switch the TV to another station or cut it off.
AND: “This too shall pass.” Persian: is an adage of Persian origin about impermanence. It reflects the temporary nature, or ephemerality, of the human condition — that neither the negative nor the positive moments in life ever indefinitely last.
Why would anyone vote for any DEMOCRAT when they are the ones who were the THIEVES?
But, the American people have to understand – President Trump’s numbers have gone done some and it is because of what he is trying to correct what the Democrats did which is causing the economy to teeter, spit, and sputter.
Just be patient – it is not going to be easy to right the ship of success over night. THEIR WILL BE A CORRECTION.
Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Slide ‘Significant’—Republican Strategist
The proportion of Americans who trust President Donald Trump to run the country more than they trust the Democrats is greater than the proportion of Americans who trust the Democrats over Trump, a new poll has found.
A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll has found that while Trump’s approval rating is sliding, he still commands more trust than Democrats in Congress to work on key issues.
Why It Matters
Trump has been hit with sustained negative polling lately on key issues including the economy. That he is trusted more than Democrats will provide some comfort ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.
Since losing the 2024 elections, there has been internal infighting in the Democratic Party between progressives and moderates and a lack of clarity about who might emerge as the next party leader. Nevertheless, experts have suggested they could win the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
According to the poll, 37 percent of people trust Trump to do a better job handling the country’s main problems than they trust Democrats in Congress.
Some, 30 percent would trust the Democrats more than Trump, while a further 30 percent said they ould trust neither, and 4 percent said they would trust both Trump and the Democras equally.
The poll of 2,464 U.S. adults was conducted between April 18-22. It has a margin of error of +/- two percentage points.
It also found that while 60 percent think Trump is out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States and 39 percent think he is in touch with them, 69 percent think the Democratic Party is out of touch and 30 percent think the party is in touch with American’s concerns.
However, the poll also found that 39 percent of adult Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency, 6 percent fewer than who approved of him in February, while 55 percent disapprove, 2 percent more than who disapproved of him in February.
It also found that a majority of Americans disapproved of the president’s handling of a number of policy issues. It showed that 61 percent of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy compared to 39 percent who approve. Around 53 percent disapprove of Trump’s record on immigration, another key issue for voters, while 46 percent approve.
What People Are Saying
President Donald Trump previously claimed in a post on Truth Social. “TRUMP’S BEST POLL NUMBERS, EVER. THANK YOU!” he wrote, though he did not reveal the poll he was referring to or when it was published.
What Happens Next
Public opinion about Trump and the Democrats will continue to fluctuate in the weeks and months to come. Public opinion will be tracked in earnest ahead of the November 2026 midterms.
Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn said on Fox Business Friday that Democrats are sinking fast, despite the media’s relentless attacks on President Donald Trump.
A poll says Americans are losing confidence in Trump’s economic leadership as his tariffs and trade policies rattle global markets. During an appearance on “Kudlow,” Penn said his polling shows support for Trump’s immigration policies surging, but only when Trump’s name is removed from the equation.
“I think it’s very interesting when you look at the polls on immigration. If I ask about Trump’s policies without Trump, support is 70% to 80%, OK? So when you put Trump in there, it comes back down to, in my poll, 50% to 55%.” Penn said.
“That means he has room to grow. That means as his presidency rolls out, look, the media is not for him, right? They focus on every single negative thing they possibly can. But underneath, when it comes to immigration, the universities, antisemitism, all of those policies, he has overwhelming support,” Penn added.
Penn also pointed to what he said were self-inflicted wounds by Democrats that caused their approval ratings to crater.
As we approach the 100 day mark of President Donald
The Associated Press
Poll finds Trump’s second term follows Americans’ expectations, but many question his priorities.
“The Democrats have fallen off a cliff. They have gone from ratings in the 40s to the 30s, even the 20s. I’ve never seen such ratings. And so I think he has room to grow. I think, again, you can’t expect miracles in the first month, especially when it’s a polarized country,” Penn said. “The job as president is to bring that polarization down, right? And during an election, you can win with 48. A successful president wants to get 65.”Trump’s overall approval rating hovers around 42%, according to Reuters. That number exceeds former President Joe Biden’s ratings for much of his time in office, and 45% of respondents voiced support for Trump’s immigration agenda.
The vice president told Fox News Digital that he met Pope Francis on Easter Sunday but “didn’t plan to see the Holy Father because he was ill.”

“But we were invited to come and visit with him before he went and did his Easter mass appearance,” Vance explained.
“I was one of, if not the very last world leader to actually meet with the pope,” Vance said. “I took one of my relatively junior staffers, who is a devout Catholic, and I looked back at him when he was about to meet the pope, and he was crying—it sort of drives home how important this, not just this man, but this institution is to over a billion people worldwide.”
“There are 1.5 billion practicing Catholics in the world, so that was a very big moment,” Vance said.
Vance told Fox News Digital that he had a “very gracious meeting” with the pope on Easter Sunday.
“The pope was very kind—he was obviously very frail,” Vance said. “We didn’t spend a lot of time together. It was mostly exchanging pleasantries, but he gave a few gifts—he gave my kids Easter baskets, and there was just this very sweet moment.”
During the meeting, the pope gave the Catholic vice president three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children, who did not attend, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries.
“I definitely cherish it,” Vance said.

Following their meeting, the vice president went to Easter Sunday Mass in Rome at the Tomb of St. Paul with his family, before getting on a plane to India.
“I was very excited about that trip—my wife’s parents are from India and I’d never been there,” said Vance. “And about an hour after we landed, a staffer came over and said, ‘Sir, the pope died.’”
“I obviously felt very sad, and my thought went immediately to the pope, but also to all these Catholics who love him,” Vance said.
“But then it kind of hit me—oh my God—I was one of the last people to talk to him,” Vance said. “I just take it as a great honor and a sign from God to remember that you never know when your last day on this Earth is.”

Differences of opinions have been in the mix for many years. We still respect our past Pope for his and the next Pope’s and the world’s opinions. We all know the U.S. has been the bread basket of the world and has worked with the world to keep PEACE by injecting our country in wars that were not necessary and still are.
President Trump was elected by he Conservatives of the country to bring the country out the abyss of socialism which has been formed by the Democrats starting with Presidents Clinton/Obama/Biden and the One World Order. As the world knows – the country has been going through a house-cleaning with GOGE since the election in 2024 and has found corruption (12 years worth) to the core. At the moment, adjustments are being made and the Democrat Socialists are not happy because they lost their identity as Democrats and therefore have lost their soul. They will not assist in working with the President in the clean-up and have been lost in their own corruption not knowing in which direction to go.
So, criticizing our President is nothing new. He and his family have been put through hell on earth and we ask the world to be more patient in their criticism.
It is confusing to the citizens that the U.S. is being criticized for wanting to build a wall at our southern border; but, it is okay for the Pope’s city to have a wall and that Germany had a wall dividing its own city during the WWII. Excuse my bluntness!
America has always been a generous country to the world and is the world now turning their back on the U.S. because we have to pause and regroup due to the Democrat Socialism corruption and stop being so generous?
Our only hope is that our next Pope will work for peace in the world and be qualified to represent ALL of the people.
Towards the end of his speech, Cardinal Giovanni Re, the dean of the College of Cardinals, said, “Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions … ‘Build bridges, not walls,’ was an exhortation he repeated many times.”Related video: Trump and Biden arrive for pope’s funeral (The Associated Press)

This echoed Francis’ criticism of Trump’s plans to build a wall on the US-Mexico border during his first term in 2016.
Francis had called those plans “not Christian.”
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel,” the pontiff had said.
During his second term, Trump’s strict border policies and sweeping immigration crackdown compelled the pope to write a letter to U.S. bishops in February, warning that the forceful removal of migrants deprives them of their inherent dignity and “will end badly.”
Furthermore, the Pope stated that deporting migrants “places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness.”
Citing the Book of Exodus and Jesus’ own experience, Francis said people have a right to seek shelter and safety in other lands and described the deportation plan as a “major crisis.”
“What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly,” he said.
(That is true as long as you abide by the laws of the U.S. Constitution.)
He made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday, when he stepped out to bless thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square and treat them to a surprise drive through the piazza, drawing loud cheers and applause.
