Document shredding kicked off at the Ronald Reagan Building. Thousands of USAID workers were placed on administrative leave while the building gets cleared out.
An email from USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, laid out the plan. It read: “Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,” and later added, “The only labeling required on the burn bags are the words “SECRET” and “USAID/(B/IO)” in dark sharpie if possible,” exactly as it was sent.
“After four months of rising inflation, looks like we are entering the cooling period.
I find it hilarious that after two days of the media trying to tell you that the economy is horrible and it’s all going to come crashing down. The inflation report came out crushing their dreams.
Because make no mistake, the reason it feels like the media is cheering on the failure of the United States of America is because they are.”
“BREAKING: Four hours after President Trump escalated US tariffs on Canada, Ontario has agreed to suspend its 25-percent tariff on electricity exports to the US pending negotiations on a renewed USMCA trade deal.
“Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it’s time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.
I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably claims “Derrrrr… you don’t even know what fascism is!” So let’s explore fascism a little, shall we?
Listed below are attributes and practices that all 20th Century fascists have in common with the Democrat Party of 2025:
1. Laws promoting the seizure of guns from law-abiding citizens and/or the denial of gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens.
2. Censorship of free speech by pretending such censorship protects the citizenry from faulty information (i.e., so-called “disinformation”).
3. Government control of industry.
4. Government control of the mass media.
5. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda. (See: Leni Riefenstahl; Walt Disney Corporation.)
6. Children belong to the State and not their parents.
7. Political dissidents and opposing political leadership are to be persecuted for fabricated “crimes” under the color of law through the courts.
8. Political dissidents are locked up for months/years without a trial. “
Yes the truth can be startling to those fed a never ending stream of economic lies. Some adjustment is necessary.
The reality was always worse than the Biden admin would admit. Fudged numbers was their speciality, along with cooked books, and money laundering thru ActBlue and USAID.
“ACTBLUE: Biden’s Treasury Secretary stonewalled Congress refusing to release ActBlue information, Secretary Bessent releases the evidence and the top seven executives at the company resign. Wonder what they’re worried about…”
“Ned Brady Hansen, the Tremonton, Utah fire chief was arrested for the alleged s*xual exploitation of children. He was released from custody by Judge Kevin Christensen despite a request to hold him without bail.
Recently Judge Christensen was also arrested after it was reportedly discovered that he had engaged in s*xual communications with fire chief Hansen which included chats about s*xually abusing children and even having a s*xual relationship with each other.
My guess is USAID is trying to shred documents related to “soft power” work — ie building civil society and free press in authoritarian countries. They need to eliminate any ability for authoritarians to trace where the aid went as this information will threaten lives in those countries. In other words, they don’t trust the twenty-somethings who run DOGE to take proper care of the information
The inflation report shouldn’t be a surprise. The effects of the tariffs won’t be know for quite sometime especially if Trump keeps pausing some of the tariffs. A high US dollar will also mitigate inflation but the dollar is in decline. In addition the stock market indicates a lack of confidence in Trump policy. Markets continue to decline
As I said yesterday, Ford is a buffoon. Today, he held a meeting with our new prime minister Mark Carney. My guess is he was verbally slapped and to keep the “Captain Canada” charade to a minimum
American fruit and vegetables are extremely cheap right now as people boycott American goods. For the non-nationalists like me there’s plenty of bargains until the grocery chains stop buying US products. Meanwhile, eggs which are supplied managed by the gov’t is only about $3 US for a dozen.
Looking at the 8 point list given by the above post, number one is a particular American idea, the confiscation of guns. There’s nothing to indicate that actually happened in the various fascist countries in the 20s and 30s. In fact, hunting clubs were encouraged by mange regimes.
Despite the paranoia of the NRA, there is no correlation between gun ownership and the type of government. Gun ownswership is high in the social democratic Nordic countries, the civil war torn Yemen and Sudan and the former communist countries of Russia and the Balkans.
The third point — gov’t control of industry is also strange. In the fascist regimes in Europe, corporations and government were interconnected. In many cases, corporations had more control of gov’t than govt of the corporations. Its ironic to see that while Musk is cutting government despite his own corporations being heavily subsidized by the same gov’t.
The sixth point is actually in complete opposition to historical reality. The fascist regimes of the 20s and 30s often promoted family values and persecuted the sexual depravity of the cities. Vichy France created the slogan of Work, Family and Fatherland. Nazis threw gay men in prison and encouraged women to stay home and become traditional house wives despite the need for labourers in the war economy.
