Attorney General Bondi and the Department of Justice Come Out Swinging

The Department of Justice yesterday filed suit against New York and its Governor, Attorney General, and Head of the DMV (all in their official capacities, not personally, which is an interesting wrinkle) for the NY Green Light Law.

Here is the actual lawsuit. It is 16 pages long and an easy read. You should read it. Go ahead, read it.

US v New York, et al

What is it all about, Big Red Car, I’m lazy?

The issues are very simple, dear reader: Continue reading →

The US Treasury And Best Practices Exposed By DOGE

Recently five former Dem Secretaries of the Treasury wrote a letter decrying the investigative work being done by Elon Trump’s (haha) Musk’s storm troopers — those fatally young, unpressed khaki-shorted, stained tee-shirted, loosely-groomed, jack-booted thugs from DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency).

Elon Musk’s DOGE thugs/desperadoes. The 19 year old one is the one they call Big Balls.

Like the the pre-Presidential election 2020 letter from the 51 intel community pros, the 5 Secretaries of Treasury letter is mostly nonsense of a scatalogical type. Continue reading →

The NGO Grift and Hustle

The acronym “NGO” is cast about a lot in the news, but what exactly is an NGO and what is their hustle? Great question, dear reader.

Always, always, in all ways, follow the bloody money!

What is an NGO?

An NGO is a Non-government Organization which is an odd name since many of them are, in fact, funded by government block grants or perform government contracts thus making them government dependent organizations. Continue reading →

Dragon Energy

We are only a couple of weeks into the Trump 2.0 administration and I can already feel the palpable improvement — meaning increase — in governing energy emanating from what was essentially a morgue during the Biden administration.

Honestly, I cannot recall the Biden admin, but I turn 74 tomorrow, so that could just be on me. I used to watch Joe Biden walk to/from Marine One and see that Old Man Gait that had that Nascar “pile-up-at-the-turn” quality to it.

When everybody recognized how feeble Joe Biden looked walking to Marine One, the White House assigned people to walk with him so his fragility was not on as direct display thereby validating the concern for the thinking world. Yikes!

Who’s Been Swimming Naked?

Donald J Trump swept into office like a bloody tsunami and now (comfortably esconced in government housing) is letting the water recede to reveal who’s been swimming naked.

WTF does that mean, Big Red Car?

What I mean is this Trump fellow made a lot of campaign promises and signed a lot of Executive Orders and we can now see — SEE — whether those promises were real or just shiny stuff to attract votes. [Politicians are known to lie to us for our votes.]

Bit more specificity, Big Red Car?

Certainly, dear reader. The Trump 2.0 promises us a sleeker government and today he locked out the offices of the US AID (Agency for International Development) and indicated their functions will be folded into the Department of State. He had previously halted all foreign aid programs for 90 days (another campaign promise made good upon).

Boom — locked out! Sort of a bold stroke. Imagine arriving for work as a government employee as say 10:19AM and finding your workplace locked?

Can we get some back story, Big Red Car?

For a bit of background, let’s explore from whence USAID came to be and what it does.

 1. In 1961, President John Kennedy wanted to counter the Soviet hegemony and expansion around the world. He convinced Congress to pass the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to marshal funds to counter the Soviets.
