Last night, President Trump and Elon Musk sat with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in a joint interview to discuss topics like the president’s desire to shrink the U.S. government; DOGE’s role in exposing the fraudulent and wasteful spending by D.C. agencies.
Musk’s proposed giving a $5,000 tax refund to every American taxpayer. However, the big takeaway was the deep appreciation and respect shared between the two men.
Trump praised Musk’s kindness, genius, creativity, and love of country. The president said Americans are extremely fortunate to have Elon involved in DOGE.
In return, Musk praised Trump’s leadership, business expertise, and seasoned wisdom. He highlighted their mutual respect and shared vision for America's future, emphasizing their joint efforts to promote innovation and economic growth.
"I love the president; he's a good man,” said Musk. “The media’s attacks on him are outrageous.

Zero bsed Budgeting
New York Times caught in Musk deception
One of the most important campaign promises Donald Trump made was the pledge to appoint Elon Musk as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).Musk’s DOGE team has essentially exposed how Permanent Washington funds itself.
This has sent the Democrats and their media allies into a tailspin.
That triggered The New York Times to unleash a hit piece on Musk and his DOGE team. However, The Times’ attack on Musk was completely taken apart by a social media commentator.
New York Times reporter Kate Conger said in a video, “If you want to understand what Elon Musk is doing now to the federal government, all you have to do is look at what he did at Twitter.”
The New York Times intentionally left out that Twitter became more profitable under Musk despite slashing personnel.
Musk is doing the same with the federal government, and the Left are going berserk.

SpaceX engineers to revolutionize American aviation safety
SpaceX to Help Save Air Traffic Systems, Improve Technology to End Major Disasters
Let’s be honest – when America decides to solve a problem, we don’t just fix it. We revolutionize it. Our nation’s history isn’t just about maintaining the status quo; it’s about shattering expectations and redefining what’s possible.While other nations talk endlessly about modernization, Americans are asking: Why settle for incremental improvements when we can leap into the future? The answer, as usual, lies in unleashing American innovation rather than expanding government bureaucracy.
In a move that has left the bureaucrats speechless, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a groundbreaking initiative. This demonstrates the Trump administration’s commitment to revolutionizing America’s air traffic control system.
This isn’t just another government program – it’s a complete reimagining of how we approach aviation safety.
While career bureaucrats might have opted for another endless study, the Trump administration is taking decisive action. SpaceX workers will visit the Air Traffic Control System Command Center on Monday, bringing Silicon Valley innovation to bear on government infrastructure challenges.

Newsom and ICE
Newsom Indicates He Will Veto Bill Blocking State Prisons From Working With ICE
The governor has vetoed bills similar to AB 15, which sought to prohibit state prisons from holding someone in custody because of an ICE request and more.California Gov. Gavin Newsom has indicated he will veto a bill that seeks to prevent the California state prison system from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if the bill passes the Legislature.
If passed, Assembly Bill 15, introduced by Assemblyman Mike Gipson (D-District 65), who represents parts of south-central Los Angeles, would prevent the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) from cooperating with ICE.
The CDCR would be prohibited from holding someone in custody at the request of ICE, sharing an individual’s release date with ICE, responding to ICE requests for information, or transferring individuals to ICE custody.

Hard to believe that Newsom would cooperate with ICE. Approximately 2 million undocumented immigrants live in California, with about 1.1 million participating in the workforce. About 2 in 7 are foreign born.

Tonight's sky 2-18-25
Elon Musk sparked controversy by claiming he’d uncovered “the biggest fraud in history” in the Social Security database, alleging that over 20 million people are listed as over 100 years old and still alive.
He shared a chart ranging from ages zero to 369 and joked that “Maybe Twilight is real.”
Official Social Security Administration (SSA) audits confirm there are millions of centenarian-plus entries that haven’t been updated.
Elon claimed the Social Security data points to “the biggest fraud in history,” joking about “vampires collecting Social Security” and insisting there are far more valid Social Security numbers than US citizens.

Illegal Shelter closes
San Diego Migrant Shelter to Shut Down After No New Arrivals
A migrant shelter in San Diego is closing operations after the Trump administration cut funding and implemented policy changes that resulted in more than 100 employees being laid off.According to Fox News, the shelter —the Jewish Family Service of San Diego — had been open for over six years as a regional migrant shelter, announced it would be permanently closing.
The non-governmental organization (NGO) said in a statement that since the Customs and Border Protection One phone app had been closed down on January 20, they had not received any new asylum seekers.
The app, initially developed during the first Trump administration to streamline scheduling cargo inspections, eventually facilitated the parole of immigrants into the U.S.

Fake News getting more ridiculous
CBS News host claims free speech is how the Germans started the Holocaust
gets remedial history lesson from Marco Rubio
CBS News Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan didn't embarrass herself enough when JD Vance was on. She felt it necessary to double down talking about Vance to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.At issue is JD Vance defending free speech in Europe. Brennan claims free speech is what led Germany to the Holocaust. No, really. This is a thing that was said on the television. On a "news" program meant to inform. In 2025.
Rubio clapped back as the kids say, and was all like, "Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime. There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. That’s not an accurate reflection of history."
What's with these "news" organizations? Scary stuff.

Chuck Schumer’s whistleblower scheme backfires
Chuck Schumer opened one can of worms that Democrats wished stayed closed
Chuck Schumer’s attempt to launch a whistleblower scheme to expose alleged abuses by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) backfired, as conservatives quickly flooded the portal with mock reports targeting Democrat leaders, including Schumer himself.Schumer’s effort to undermine DOGE and its mission to eliminate wasteful government spending came across as politically motivated, particularly when conservative figures highlighted his past incendiary rhetoric, which led to dangerous consequences like the assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh.
Schumer’s leadership has come under increasing scrutiny, with even his allies in the press mocking his latest moves, prompting some Democrats to question his ability to continue as the Senate leader.
“Today, said Schumer, I’m calling on our brave public servants. I’m launching a new portal for anyone who wants to expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety with the legal protections of being a whistleblower.”
That was a big mistake as Reublicans used the portal to report abuse, corruption and fraud by Democrats. "Joe Biden. Kamala Harris. Chuck Schumer,” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) wrote in response, and the entire corrupt Democrat party that weaponized & abused the federal government for the past four years.”

Europe needs to do more, better
UK offers peacekeeping troops to Ukraine ahead of Paris talks
- UK could send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine
- Sweden says it would consider joining a peacekeeping force
- European leaders to meet in Paris
- French official says Europe must do more
Starmer's comments underlined a growing realization among European nations that they will likely have to play a larger role in ensuring Ukraine's security as Washington works alone with Russia on a potential end to the three-year conflict.
Starmer, who is expected to travel to Washington to meet Trump next week, said on Sunday that Europe was facing a "once in a generation moment" for the collective security of the continent, and it must work closely with the United States.
He said Britain was ready to play a leading role in delivering security guarantees for Ukraine, including being ready to put "our own troops on the ground if necessary."
The end of this war, when it comes, cannot merely become a temporary pause before Putin attacks again," he wrote in the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

Chinese illegals are being smuggled into Florida all men of military age
China is expanding its influence in the Caribbean
Florida is the gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America.The Sunshine State is also an opportunity to enter the United States. And a China expert sounded the alarm on this horrible threat Florida is facing.
A wealthy suburb of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, was the site of two busts by police of box trucks filled with illegal aliens from China over the span of two weeks earlier this year.
The Chinese illegal aliens arrived in Florida via boat after they were smuggled in from the Bahamas.
China expert Gordan Chang warned the incidents could be tied to the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the Caribbean. Chang pointed out that most of the Chinese illegal aliens were military-age males traveling alone.
“Border Patrol has noticed that in some of these packs, they’re coming across in packs between 4 and 15, that everybody in the pack has an identical kit,” Chang stated. “That is an ominous sign.”

Trillions of your $$$$ went into a Black Hole
Crooks! Trillions Lost: Govt’s Massive Blackhole Fund
In a stunning revelation, Elon Musk’s DOGE team has exposed that a staggering $4.7 trillion in taxpayer money was funneled into what can only be described as a governmental black hole.The implications of this discovery have sent shockwaves throughout the nation (other than with Democrats, of course), as the federal government allegedly failed to trace these funds properly.
According to the DOGE team’s findings, “$4.7 trillion dollars in payments were left blank,” making it nearly untraceable and creating a significant accountability issue. This oversight was largely due to the optional nature of the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS), an identification code meant to link Treasury payments to specific budget line items.
The negligence displayed by leaving the TAS field optional resulted in a lack of transparency regarding how taxpayer money was spent. DOGE revealed, “In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible.”
However, there is light at the end of the tunnel: As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going."

In a time when accountability is of the utmost importance, the American people can rest assured that leaders like President Trump are hard at work. They are prioritizing transparency and efficiency, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, not vanishing into bureaucratic obscurity.

USAID is the poster child for government waste
"Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) quickly identified the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as the Deep state’s nerve center.
USAID’s $44 billion budget supposedly funds projects that advance American interests abroad.
In reality, it’s a slush fund to manipulate internal affairs in other countries and prop up left-wing political groups to seize power.
Every penny USAID sends out the door is unconstitutional foreign aid or waste, fraud, and abuse."

Sinister forces in our federal government
Democrat hypocrisy on full display after China’s disturbing influence in one embattled department is exposed
President Donald Trump for months told anyone who would listen that he would go line-by-line through the bloated federal government to root out corruption and waste.Even as his appointees found exactly what they were looking for, the Left howled in anger and called for violence in the streets.
And Democrat hypocrisy is on full display after disgusting revelations over Communist China’s disturbing influence in an embattled department.
Imagine allowing the nation’s primary adversary to hack into the U.S. Treasury and have access to the inner workings of the federal government—and Democrats did not bat an eyelash.
Chinese state-sponsored actors breached U.S. security in 2024 and accessed employee workstations and federal documents in what the Treasury described as a “major incident.”
But it was under Joe Biden’s bumbling watch, and there was barely a ripple in the left-wing media.

Judge: DOGE can continue audits at HHS, Labor Dept and CFPB
Judge Rejects Bid to Block DOGE’s Access to Labor, Health, and CFPB Data
A judge has upheld DOGE’s authority to access data at three federal agencies.The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can continue its de facto ('in fact' or 'in reality') audit of certain executive agencies, according to a ruling Friday in the District of Columbia.
U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington on Feb. 14 declined a request by unions and nonprofits for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the DOGE team from gaining access to records at the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
In denying the plaintiffs’ request for a restraining order, the judge noted that the plaintiffs failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of their claims, which centered on the idea that DOGE’s data access policies were illegal because they were implemented without proper rulemaking or legal authority.
