Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden's over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around. read more

Where Advertising and the Nooner mix, be nice, be mean I don't care I have half of you blocked.
Well let's start with the fact that ------- doesn't have the legal authority to do it
From what I understand, POTUS, has the authority to close programs that aren't specifically stated in Congressional USAID appropriations.
POTUS cannot dissolve USAID, and cannot terminate programs explicitly stated by appropriations.
What Musk and his team have determined is that USAID has granted money to programs, given to it by the US Treas. These programs that are not appropriated by Congress. These can be terminated by the Executive branch.
Whats interesting is the CRs congress have passed has led to USAID just spending without any oversight by Congress or the Executive branch.
Those days appear to be over, at least in the short term.
I don't see it as alot of money as people are claiming, but its a sort of cleaning house. Whats amazing looking at all this is how many donor advised funds get government USAID money, and how its just a web of graft, not really doing anything other then skimming money and paying it forward.
Here's a good break down ...
For donors interested in controversial or political-advocacy matters, donor-advised grantmaking creates a layer of privacy against public scrutiny, since contributions to a DAF are shown as grants to the sponsoring charity (for instance, the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund). While grants from a DAF are reported as contributions by the sponsoring charity, that does not reveal the particular donor-advisor who directed the grant to its final destination.

Now how can this be appropriated by Congress? There is no specificity.
I would think you'd want to get rid of this sort of graft? No?
The story of "illegal immigration" and massive lies about it and the migrants being cast as criminals, and the fear porn worked.
Yav you're the only one lying about immigration.
Border crossings were down under Biden before Trump took office.
Trump needed to save face, and Mexico and Canada gave him window dressing to accommodate that being the good allies they are.
This is all crystal clear. Unambiguous.

Why? Why were they down yav, ya liar.
Mexico regularly sends troops to the border.
TruthLies, does the US send the airforce into Mexican airspace?
This RJ-135 is currently operating over sovereign Mexican territory.
If I were to bet, Chapitos are ------.
This is the first time such capabilities are operating openly, key word OPENLY, over Mexican sovereign territory clearing indicating an agreement was made by both countries.
Historically, we tend to see shadow companies operate such flights, or it is done without public awareness, this is a significant deployment of an impressive system.
