The new Secretary of Homeland Security walked out to "Hot Mama" like a stripper. Medicaid and other Federally-funded programs are being shut down. Suburban and rural Federal employees are being forced out in favor of urbanites who can make it to their agency's office five days a week, except agencies don't actually have enough space for them. OPM is apparently spamming hundreds of thousands of Federal employees asking them to make an irrevocable commitment to resign in September. This is shaping up to be the most batshit insane administration I've ever seen. It's only been eight days and it's already more insane than all four years of Joe Biden, a literal dementia case who put criminal sexual deviants in high office.
 
If you want to laugh at other covid dooming retards as a form of catharsis for what happened to your brother, I occasionally mine https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidCommunity/ for salt and sneed. Warms the cockles of my heart to see bad things happen to the deserving.
r/ZeroCovidCommunity still dooming like it's March 2020 and their posts are hilarious. First post I click on:

Redditor finds that most of the "medical professional" accounts he should follow from the list are actually Internet whores.
 
My question is why would they freeze nearly all federal grants and loans? You can review them at any time, demand an end to certain federal contracts, without shutting down the entire system immediately.
So stuff like the $50 million earmarked for Palestinian condoms doesn't make it out the door while you're auditing it. You can't get it back once it's out. The point is to stop egregious waste and stop it now.
 
Tell me what people on Medicaid do to deserve that support? Tell me what value they bring this world. Because from my perspective, they contribute nothing and exist only to feed on what hardworking Americans produce. Medical research grants are actually for making bioweapons by the way. As for small business loans, this is a sink or swim world and if they can't stay afloat without government assistance, they shouldn't exist. My tax dollars shouldn't fund some retard's pickleball or comic book store.
My tax dollars should not be going to some retard playing with rocks and mud, I'm sorry. He should be getting funding from the corporate sector if his work is that valuable. The fact that he isn't just shows that he contributes nothing with his fake degree.
IN THEORY medicaid is supposed to be about societal good, and it's been abused by mooches. (See: Polissa Campbell)

e.g. Let's say you have a person with a sick/injured/handicapped family member, if that person has to make enough money for the dependent's life and medical care, then that persons labor and income are only going to the dependent, which limits the worker's ability to spend and his ability to contribute to his community in other ways. If everyone in that community chipped in a few bucks to support that dependent, then theoretically everyone benefits, but this only works if the number of people being supported is a very small percentage of the overall population.

Put another way, it's not really supposed to be about providing for retards, it's supposed to be about freeing productive members of society from the retards.

This mentality is why multinational corporations have run roughshod over Middle America. Business loans are necessary to have a functional and robust economy these days, because our government remains totally ineffectual in stopping these corporations. Trump will not be the one to break them apart.

So it's a failed experiment and needs to be done away with. Why not just put cripples and retards in government care homes/asylums and let their family visit them there so we know that all the money is going to caring for them and not luxury goods and high end restaurants?

If you get seriously injured through no fault of your own, and are unable to work to make ends meet as you used to, would you consent to being shoved in a government asylum and forced to deal with the "quality treatment" of the average medical professional? Do you remember how that worked 5 years ago?

A healthy society is more than just "number go up" and GDP and economics. It must provide for the common good. People who abuse the system would be cracked down upon, which isn't happening these days, but that is the fault of the moral corruption of society.

Really, it's the fault of niggers. That's the issue, but no one wants to say it and so they dance around this thing about "welfare" when the problem is mostly just niggers.

Shutting down the asylums in this country was a terrible idea. I'd much rather my taxes/money-to-medicaid go to funding clean, safe asylums than to a bunch of leeches, mental cases, and drug addicts.
 
Modern Marxist Progressive Leftists are basically, for the Autists, the demons in Frieren, words are nothing to them but tools or weapons. They believe that if they say the right combination of words in the right order, people will do what they want. They talk about empathy but in practice they have none, they only seek to use your empathy or sense of morality against you. They do this because they're envious dysgenic mutants and what they want is for everyone else who isn't a loser like they are to suffer. They want to take everything you have or you've earned, including your children, and they'd love to kill you after watching you suffer. You should be calling them demon possessed, you should be dehumanizing them, and the only mercy you should give them is the God-Emperor's, which is more than they deserve.


I like the Reddit midwit saying absurd a second time, but in Latin to show just how heckin' smart he is. It's funny how they came up with the Price of Eggs Voter strawman, because they're fucking retards who don't have a theory of mind for anyone who disagrees with them, instead of realizing that some of us, maybe most of us, voted for Trump because we wanted to watch the broken, corrupted edifice that is the Federal Government burn.
you raise such a great point

It was the Jan 6th protest that help me realize all the leftists talking points are simply to get power.

It was the conversations I had on the farms during that event that helped me figure out how wrong and small minded I had been to so many issues. Honestly was a massive part of who I am today as a result, I changed my whole outlook and appreciation for life, Im so much happier and stable now than then and its due in no small part to this website and my fellow kiwis that always called out bullshit in the language it needed to be at the times it needed to be when very VERY few other places would offer such a service.

In that time It was like watching in real time what Lot went through for poor joshua moon with keffals and byu and all the other 1001 things that he had to endure, UNPAYED STILL, beacuse the godamn banking lobby froze out a shitposting website better then the country of Iran.

I think Emerson puts it better than I can

"Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned our disapprobation. The gods love him because men hated him. "To the persevering mortal," said Zoroaster, "the blessed Immortals are swift."

we are not just back, we are going new and better and happier places.

DESPAIR WAS NEVER AN OPTION!

Yeah but we already have these programs. If they were supposed to stop multinational corporations from jeetfucking peaceful suburbia, they've sure as hell failed. We shouldn't be funding failed experiments.
 
I wonder if there's another way to handle it? I know a friend of a friend who works at a national lab with DOE grants who is complaining that this freeze may overlap when their grant renewal next month.

If that happens they say they won't have any income by the end of the month due to it (no grant, no money) as the renewal date will have come and gone.
They don't do anything even remotely woke. Think geology hard science shit.

I do feel bad because they have a wife and kids, but finding out they likely had to include three pages of DEI shit to get this funded is something else. What does that even look like? How do you include diversity when looking at fucking dirt?

In any case I wonder if there's some sort of compromise. It would suck if people doing actual science get fucked due to grant renewal deadlines.
Yes! That’s the problem with Trump’s plan. His team seems to be under the belief that every little thing is somehow overtaken by the Left when a lot of this has been from the top down. A simple removal of any DEI qualifications in ongoing and future programs would solve this. But Trump had to go full retard and nearly brought the American economy to a screeching halt today.

this is so fucking funny, people earlier were pointing out how the r/conservative sub was the last sane place on the site

Id like to submit for your consideration r/UFOS where there is still a very left leaning orientation but the fucking alien szhizos are having FAR more reasonable and logical discussion and frankly asking the questions that need asking

genius from humble origins indeed
I wonder if the totally-not-American drones were still flying around, or did they disappear after Jan 20th? Trump should force the military to explain what happened though.

I don't mind having things like Medicaid but if you aren't making an active effort to improve your health through excersise and diet, you shouldn't receive any funding/meds whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure most of the Healthcare expenditure is exclusively on Diabetes medications. We literally pay trillions because people eat and live like shit and refuse to improve themselves.
 
The office I work at has a hard left type.
She was demanding (in the still office air) how we were gonna manage our crops without illegal immigrants.

I asked back why our food production was dependent on maintaining a slave class.

Didn't even get scolded for it as she started the 'politically charged' discussion.

The energy really has shifted.
 
CCP collaborator Milley is gone:

Pentagon pulling Gen. Milley's security detail and clearance 'immediately,' may face demotion in retirement​

Milley has had a security detail since Iran vowed revenge for the killing of Qasem Soleimani​

By Lucas Y. Tomlinson · Fox News
Published January 28, 2025 4:51pm EST | Updated January 28, 2025 4:59pm EST

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce he is "immediately pulling" retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security clearance, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News.

The secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to "undermine the chain of command" during President Donald Trump's first term, officials say.

The Pentagon will also be removing a second portrait of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army's Marshall Corridor on the third floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army. Fox is told the removal of this second portrait will take place as soon as tonight. This means there will be no more portraits of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon.

The first portrait of Gen. Milley, from his time as the U.S. military's top officer, was removed from the Pentagon last week on Inauguration Day less than two hours after President Trump was sworn into office.

The now retired Gen. Milley and other former senior Trump aides had been assigned personal security details ever since Iran vowed revenge for the killing of Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in 2020 ordered by Trump in his first term.

On "Fox News Sunday," the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Tom Cotton said he hoped President Trump would "revisit" the decision to pull the protective security details from John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook who previously served under Trump.

Asked why these actions were being taken, a senior administration official who requested anonymity replied, "There is a new era of accountability in the Defense Department under President Trump's leadership—and that's exactly what the American people expect."

Gen. Milley served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2019 to 2023 under both Presidents Trump and Biden.

He served as the Army's chief of staff, the service's top officer, from 2015-2019.

In his new book "War," Bob Woodward writes Gen. Milley told him at a reception at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. on March 6, 2023, that he believed Trump was "fascist to the core!"

Gen. Milley was still serving in uniform as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when he reportedly made the remark.

Woodward wrote that Gen. Milley, "shared with me his worries about Trump's mental stability and control of nuclear weapons," in a previous book.

When the leader of ISIS was killed in a daring raid carried out by U.S. Special Operations Forces in Syria in October 2019, President Trump praised Milley.

"I want to thank General Mark Milley and our Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I also want to thank our professionals who work in other agencies of the United States government and were critical to the mission’s unbelievable success."

Before leaving office, President Joe Biden pardoned Gen. Milley.

In their book, "Peril," Bob Woodward and Robert Costa wrote that Gen. Milley called his Chinese counterpart on two occasions in the final months of Trump's first term, warning him the U.S. military had no plans to strike China in a bid to avert tensions between nuclear-armed countries.
