U.S. Department of Defense announces preliminary DOGE findings.

Can’t pass an audit since the turn of the century and this is all they find? Cmon, man!
This is a drop in the bucket. Just because the money goes to a “realistic, serious, important” group does not mean that it stays there. The money continues on to whatever garbage program they can come up with and THEN it gets stolen.
Wonder what the brainiacs at U. of Montana were going to do to “strengthen Democracy”?!
The FINALLY implemented an actual hiring freeze today. And told employees they must respond to Musk’s activity report email.
Btw, $80M ➗$860B = 0.009% of the DoD budget.
Iiiiiii…think we can find some more to cut.
FBI Deputy Agent in Charge New York city

Oh, changed my mind….I’m resigning
Head of FBI in New York forcibly resigns in latest shakeup at the bureau under Trump administration
https://abc7ny.com/post/head-fbi-new-york-james-dennehy-forcibly-resigns-latest-shakeup-bureau-trump-administration/15973996/
Probably get a 300k security job driving Goldman Sachs execs from home to work and back again.
“Forcibly resigns” ?!?
Resign or be fired.
Acually, in this case, it was retire, or be fired.
There should be no pension!
Whatever. Just make sure his clearances are pulled as well.
One down and 10,000 to go!
I don’t know. I how did Bondi not know? I still got too many questions.
Whistleblower.
Let us not forget George Zimmerman.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth directed the Army to change the name of Fort Moore to Fort Benning in honor of Cpl. Fred G. Benning, a Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) recipient, who heroically served in Machine-Gun Company, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in France during World War I. On October 9, 1918, the enemy killed Cpl. Benning’s platoon commander and disabled two senior noncommissioned officers in action south of Exermont, France. The Army awarded Cpl. Benning the DSC for his heroic actions that day as he courageously led the remaining 20 men through heavy fire to their assigned objective in support of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.
CPL Benning was the living embodiment of the Infantryman’s Creed: He was “swift, determined and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win.
Fort Benning, home of the Army’s Maneuver Center of Excellence, trains thousands of Infantry, Armor, and Ranger warfighters to answer their nation’s call.
Secretary Hegseth’s directive honors the warrior ethos and recognizes the heroes who have trained at the installation for decades.
The Secretary of the Army will take immediate action to implement this decision. -U.S. Army

Ft. Benning was originally named after a Confederate general. In a politically correct move, the base was renamed “Ft. Moore” in honor of Lieutenant General Hal Moore.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Moore
Now the base is being renamed, again, after a WWI decorated American soldier who, coincidentally, has the same last name as the Confederate general.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Moore#Name
I thought that was Fort Bragg and it was Roland Bragg who earned a Silver Star and Purple Heart at the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.
Maybe you are right also.
Tina Peters🇺🇸 Whistleblower of fallen Navy SEAL

The DOJ Just filed a Statement of Interest in @realtinapeters case!
Thank you

@realDonaldTrump
“Reasonable concerns have been raised about various aspects of Ms. Peters’ case. … the exceptionally lengthy sentence imposed relative to the conduct at issue, the 1st Amendment implications of the trial court’s Oct 2024 assertions relating to Ms. Peters, & whether Colorado’s denial of bail pending appeal was arbitrary or unreasonable under the 8th and 14th Amendments
Parallel to these .. DOJ is reviewing cases across the nation for abuses of the criminal justice process.
Cont…
Thankful, question though, why has it taken so long?
DOJ jumps into Tina Peters case.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/us-department-justice-files-statement-interest-case-gold/
While the case is a state case and thus offers the federal government no opportunity to issue a pardon, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has thrown itself into the ring. Today, the Justice Department filed a Statement of Interest.
Reminder: Tina Peters’ son died for our country.
IMHO…..while I understand the angst and desire to see perp walks and indictments in regards the Epstein “situation “, a list of names or flight logs does little good, its not hard evidence.
What you need to prosecute are the tapes from his properties, along with hard drives and other electronic media. And seeing as the FBI has had possession of these items, reportedly, does anyone think they still exist? Unless they wanted to hold them for their own blackmail opportunities, I can’t fathom they were allowed to continue to exist.
I hope I’m wrong, but you’re dealing with the wealthiest and most powerful people on Earth, and my bet is they’re all vaporized.
.
Pam Bondi now on Hannity claiming that she got the files at 8 a.m. and “Kash” is going over everything as fast as we can” to protect the victims” and the FBI (!) is “going over them” and and and… I want to smack them both, sorry.
.
Sure you do. I want them NOW!!! LOL
How much is Bondi compensated per appearance on Fox?
One dollar. Overpaid at that…
The AG should be seen less and work more. There has to be a decent info person to be going on television and making promises.
Starting to look like bread and circuses!
how many hours has she spent on FOX, how many hours of preparation time. What does PDJT think of all this FOX time realtive to productivity as AG.
It’s too obvious. Diversionary for U.S./Trump or for deep state? Incompetence? or Strategy?
This whole “running to Fox News” thing is really, really, REALLY pathetic… like, you know this is not 2020 and you have an actual job to do now, right?
Her answer on the redactions was pathetic 🙄
The Leftist Thug, And Partisan FBI Agent James Dennehy Is Forced To Resign!!!
New York FBI Field Office Head Forced Out Days After His Office Was Revealed to Have Been Hiding Thousands of Epstein Documents

(To believe that you could reform the corrupt FBI is SEVERELY NAIVE.)
(Mr. James Dennehy, (formerly at FBI), is a Deep State OPERATIVE.)
This is why I have stated for years here that,
If you want to get rid of organized crime…
Get rid of the FBI…
And if you want to get rid of terrorism…
Get rid of the CIA.
In God We Trust
Trust God
Fear not
Bondi and Kash obviously must now have the tapes too of the sick crimes committed by the pedo brigade. They got everything, right? Or did they got curated docs? Clinton and Gates are on tape raping.

Lucky he dug in – before he retired.

The real one.
Another fatality of winning too much: Carl Dean, Dolly Parton’s husband of nearly 62 years has passed away.
He was 82 years old.
Clearly you have never lost a spouse. Flagged for just plain insensitivity.
It was meant as a compliment.
How the hell is that a compliment?
“Kari Lake has been sworn in as the Director of Voice of America to help President Trump dismantle the globalist fake news operation. …”
I’m guessing she won’t be shy about shaking things up.
I’m guessing DOGE won’t be investigating why 1000 people are needed, and they won’t have to submit weekly five-point memos.
I expect that there will be no question of the productivity AND effect of the work of her people. Can you imagine the sweat of the WEF/Bankers when the VOA starts broadcasting where all the money has been going, leading to revelation of the dark money, where it was going, what it is being used for, and who it made rich?

@DOJ told me this afternoon that we will not be getting any Seth Rich records on March 10. The
@FBI only intends to produce a “Vaughn index,” which gives a brief description of what they are withholding and why. That means that the feds are not even willing to produce…

Prosecutions or coverup.

They are already trying to use the horrific fire in SC as a talking point about “climate change.” Thankfully there are public voices that continue to call it exactly what it is – BS.
I grew up in eastern NC. We had wildfires on a regular basis. They were beneficial for the health of the pine forests. They occasionally got out of hand, but mostly burned themselves out. Bill Nye is a tool of the climate zombies. I worry more about the rampant, unchecked development on our coasts than I do wildfires or hurricanes.
There was a news report and video of a LA neighborhood that caught Global Warming and beat him up until Police arrived.
Another Global Warming taught college level environmental science at the Catholic University in San Jose.

Trudeau announces 25% tariffs on US goods will take effect at midnight in response to Trump’s on Canadian products

@FrankTruslow
Let’s all remember about the tariffs on Mexico and Canada. We hold all the cards. Why? The US’s GDP is 7 times bigger than the GDP’s of Mexico and Canada *combined*.
35% of Mexico’s GDP is exports to the US Only 1.2% of US’s GDP is exports to Mexico
22% of Canada’s GDP is exports to the US Only 1.5% of US’s GDP is exports to Canada
They need us WAY more than we need them.
3:10 PM · Mar 3, 2025·
Open your wallet. We import a lot of stuff from Mexico and Canada. Now it will cost us 25% more.
We import 8 million barrels of oil a day. Most comes from Mexico and Canada. Look for fuel prices to go up.
US Ford Chevy Dodge cars and auto parts are mostly imported from Mexico now. Look for the cost of cars and Car repairs to go up.
Lots of food is imported. Yup going up too.
US imports 4 trillion dollars worth of stuff a year.
Tariffs are a tax you will pay on most everything you buy that is imported.
Its almost impossible to find a made in America label anymore. When you do find one many times it is Assembled in America with imported parts.
Inflation is on the way. ““trade wars are good and easy to win.” Who said that?
Using Tariffs as a weapon never works out well. Especially when nations like China are ready for them and have a plan to combat them to weaken the USD.
Got Gold?

I will gladly pay twice the price for an American made pipe wrench that will last a lifetime as opposed to a chinese piece of crap that you strip the teeth out of the first time you put it on a pipe.
The same goes for a washing machine that last thirty years instead of chinese junk that last two years.
Inflation may hurt initially, but when you can buy stuff you don’t have to go back and buy again and again your pocket money will increase considerably.
Cheap junk with planned obsolescence is corporations robbing the people.
I could fill up a whole page on corporate robbery.
Thank you. Always support USA, everyday. We as a country have gotten far too used to “cheap.” Ones far wiser than I always taught, buy well made, you only will buy once. That was before made in the USA was a problem. Still have a few of their items, handed down. We as a people have failed ourselves.
It’s a freakin’ miracle this hasn’t already happened
