Perfect, this is one of the dominoes we need to move this forward.

Agree. The corruption will not die quietly. And the screaming coming from political circles is confirmation we are looking at the right things.

I prefer they not change a thing. Their behaviors, beliefs and values were rejected by most of America. If Trump can make even slight improvements in the lives of people, and the Democrats double-down on stupid, future elections can swing to the party of simple common sense, and people can continue to win.

Not weird at all, you wanted the conversation and I participated. It would be weird to ignore you. I think this back end hidden funding on the part of our government to media outlets might explain, in part, their deference to Democrats.

What doesn't? I mean, what a bunch of crybabies....

Of course you do.....and in kind I see yours as broken. So here we are, disagreeing.

Not propaganda, but I would not trust it out of the gate, though it does feed into my suspicions I find the source to be of uncertain quality. I would need to weigh this against other sources covering the same topic.

I inferred his point, did not listen, I need to set aside time to listen to him, it....takes time to listen to him

Beats me, the topic never came up

I like Jordan Peterson. I am a fan. I think he is not correct on this one.

I have worked with many agencies across time.....closely with Senators, White House.....DHS, HHS, Pentagon....and then some others like CMS. NIH, Postal, DOT...DOE.... The system is rather flawed. And I have worked with fantastic people, even the SES's. But I will tell you, there is no shortage of bad ones....

Our fiscal situation is not what it should be. The waste of our tax money is a deplorable situation. Maybe lets try some new blood.

Palestine is not a real thing. It never was. In fact, the name itself is something the arabs in the area subsumed from the Jews. Leaders in the early part of the 20th century made many mistakes, the carving up of the middle east and their mishandling of Israel have been chief among those mistakes. I read a book called A Peace to End All Peace and it goes through considerable detail to outline what transpired during and after WWI, where the main mistakes transpired. If I am being fair, it is not an "easy" read, but at the end you come away with a real appreciation for the complexity of the problems in the area.

I have seen enough. What I have seen, coupled with my own direct experiences, tells me I have the right view on this. Government is not something we should trust, it is something we should always view with suspicion.

I have to acquiesce that Trump does hate to see our money flowing out to others. So there is merit to what you say. I might suggest there were other targets that made more sense. And I remain firm that this agency, was integral to the misdeeds of Democrats globally, and by shutting it down Trump is eliminating a threat. JMHO

Well, let me say this.....I dont think he actually intends to do anything at all with Palestine...... But I think the nations in that region hear him say HE WILL.....and that is a notion they find....lets say unsettling..... So I suggest, this is a threat of sorts, that the neighboring nations better get their sh!t together and get involved....or else HE will..... And I also suggest, they think he absolutely will. So lets see if all the sudden... Saudi...Jordan...Turkey....and Egypt decide to get together and get involved.

If I may......I do not accept they were very good at their job. Lets find some folks who might be better.

I am going to wait and see what happens here. I am not a fan of getting involved in the middle east in general, and particularly with the Palestinians. There are far more people vested in keeping conflict in play than having peace when it comes to Palestidiots.

100% He is a threat to the back hallway money laundering of politicians. IMHO, Trump had Musk go after this agency immediately because he can strangle the money flow for Democrats on the back end. This means they have less to buy people with. These guys are not joking around, but I have to wonder if they appreciate what these people might do to hold their power.

I know many here hate on the strategy, but I think it makes sense, though I do not see it exactly as a "plan" since its been the same nonsense liberals have been regurgitating for years..... But Trump is moving at a speed that no one has really seen before. A a strategy it is smart, the Democrats and their media mouthpieces are on their heels, struggling to develop anti-Republican messaging at the same pace. The liberals are like a one of those dolls that have a pull cord in the back, and it repeats some small set of messages. Likely by happenstance, their pretense around "authoritarianism" actually words as a tool against moving at speed.

I think we need to appreciate what is transpiring here. I believe, and this is just from my own personal experience, that politicians setup this funding to go overseas, and that money comes back to them via overseas banks. There are schemes in place and this is a key tool feeding how people in congress amass fortunes on simple governmental salaries. Trump et al is directly threatening that money stream. We should not think they will not go to ANY extreme to protect the money and power. What Trump and Musk are doing is dangerous. Ask yourself this.....why target US AID, like right out of the gate? Because THIS agency is a KEY tool for Democrats to fight their opponents.

If it is your intention to fuss over the how, I leave that to you and yours. I have no issue with it what so ever. I DO NOT......accept that the government can keep secrets from us....... NO MORE.......

I think the exposure of the wasting of our tax dollars abroad is really getting under their skin. I have to wonder, are they really worried about something else.

I notice that Democrats are not trying to defend the spending or how the money is managed.....no.....they are attacking the person who is outing their behaviors...... I think that is telling.

I am no fan of the Dept of Education, which has become an oxymoron. I do believe that results matter, and the ongoing decrease in overall student performance cannot be overlooked; nor can the deplorable performance among minority communities, well, not Asians of course. I think teachers mostly work pretty hard, and do their best. I think the problem is too many of the kids are just sh!t.......utter and absolute sh!t. They have sh!tty parents and the kids become worthless as a result. You cannot simply send your kid off to school and expect them to achieve success, it requires the application of accountability at home for both behavior AND schoolwork. IMHO, its the parents that need to be fixed/
