Green: The biggest peacetime crime and coverup in British history

By Dominic Green | Commentary, The Free Press LONDON — The grooming and serial rape of thousands of English girls by men of mostly Pakistani Muslim background over several decades is the biggest peacetime crime in the history of modern Europe. It went on for many years. It is still going on. And there has been no justice for the vast majority of the victims. British governments, both Conservative and Labour, hoped that they had buried the story after a few symbolic prosecutions in the 2010s. And it looked like they had succeeded—until Elon Musk read some of the court papers and tweeted his disgust and bafflement on X over the new year. Britain now stands shamed before the world. The public’s suppressed wrath is bubbling to the surface in petitions, calls for a publi...

Elon Musk shoots down ‘wrong-headed economic thinking,’ says there’s ‘infinite potential’ for job creation

ByAlex Nitzberg | Fox Business Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk shot down a scarcity mindset and suggested that there is basically unlimited potential for creating jobs and businesses. "The ‘fixed pie’ fallacy is at the heart of much wrong-headed economic thinking. There is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation. Think of all the things that didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago!" Musk declared in a post on X. Musk's comment was in response to a post from entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale who had mentioned Sriram Krishnan — who President-elect Trump recently tapped for a role in his upcoming administration. Last month, Krishnan advocated for lifting a cap on green cards when replying to a post of Musk's regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (...

Here’s what’s in the spending bill that’s drawing the ire of Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News Congressional leadership unveiled legislation Wednesday to punt the government funding deadline down the road, but that bill was pronounced dead only hours after it was revealed.  It led to the intervention of Trump-allied conservatives like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with Musk threatening to support a primary challenge to any Republican member of Congress who voted for the bill.  It even prompted President-elect Trump to say he is "totally against" the legislation and insist any spending deal raise the debt ceiling before he gets into office, saving his administration the headache of doing so.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Government employees are working from home. GOP lawmakers and Elon Musk’s DOGE plan to change that

By James Lynch | National Review A bombshell report from Senator Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) found that the amount of federal employees working fully in-person is near-zero despite the government spending billions annually to ensure buildings remain suitable for occupancy. Thursday morning, the Senate Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) caucus held a meeting where Ernst presented a report on widespread remote work among federal employees, according to a source familiar. Multiple Republican senators and Ramaswamy were seen at the Senate DOGE meeting. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NATIONAL REVIEW

Elon threatens to buy MSNBC and the internet cheers

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Comcast is reportedly looking to sell MSNBC, causing a deluge of jokes and calls for Elon Musk to buy the network. Eroding trust in traditional media creates enthusiasm for authentic alt-media outlets like X that counter elite capture and narrative control. Americans are both angry at the establishment and cautiously hopeful for the future if Elon Musk steps in to liberate more media platforms.  Recent reports suggest Comcast is preparing to sell MSNBC after increasingly dramatic ratings casualties post-election. Elon Musk, who has become infamous for purchasing Twitter in 2022, is making hay of the situation by joking about buying MSNBC. READ THE FULL STORY AT MIG REPORTS

‘Accountability is coming’: Joni Ernst sends Musk’s DOGE ‘a trillion dollars’ worth of ideas to gut gov’t spending 

By Harold Hutchison | Daily Caller Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa sent Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-chairs Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy a letter Monday with ideas for cuts that could save the federal government over $2 trillion. Trump named Musk and Ramaswamy as co-chairs of DOGE on Nov. 12. In the seven-page letter, Ernst’s suggestions ranged from addressing unused space in buildings to uncommitted spending for COVID relief, with the proposed cuts totaling over $2 trillion. Ernst has focused on government waste since her election to the United States Senate in 2014, with a recent focus on the effects of telework and remote work on federal agencies.

MTG to Chair DOGE Subcommittee to Work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy

By Bradley Jaye | Breitbart Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will chair the subcommittee tasked with working with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to slash wasteful spending throughout the federal government. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) will create the new Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee and tap Greene to lead it in January, Fox News Digital reported Thursday. Musk and Ramaswamy were tasked by Trump to lead DOGE to displace the power of the federal bureaucracy and return it to the “people we elect [to] run the government,” Musk and Ramaswamy outlined Wednesday in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. The DOGE subcommittee is likely to be the conduit for House investigations to aid the department’s work. READ ...

Musk and Ramaswamy: The DOGE plan to reform government

By Elon Musk and  Vivek Ramaswamy | Commentary, The Wall Street Journal Our nation was founded on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government. That isn’t how America functions today. Most legal edicts aren’t laws enacted by Congress but “rules and regulations” promulgated by unelected bureaucrats—tens of thousands of them each year. Most government enforcement decisions and discretionary expenditures aren’t made by the democratically elected president or even his political appointees but by millions of unelected, unappointed civil servants within government agencies who view themselves as immune from firing thanks to civil-service protections. This is antidemocratic and antithetical to the Founders’ vision. It imposes massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers. Th...

CNN panelist says Trump’s UFC entourage looked like ‘ancient Rome,’ surrounded by ‘political gladiators’

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller The Bulwark national political reporter Marc Caputo said Sunday on CNN that President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks look like “ancient Rome,” comparing it to being surrounded by “political gladiators.” Over the course of the past week, Trump has revealed his picks for top positions within his Cabinet, with Democrats reacting to some of them in extreme measures. On “Inside Politics with Manu Raju,” CNN political analyst Astead Herndon said that Trump’s nominations have not only forced Republicans to choose where their allegiance lies, but also noted how the nominees have become stars, making their first appearance at UFC 309 in New York City on Saturday evening. “He’s flood the zone with these picks and forced Republicans to choose. I think it’s ...
