CHINESE BALLOON GLIDERS !!!

Friday, February 14th, 2025

 

If Sam Faddis, who is a retired CIA operations officer, understands how dangerous that Chinese balloon was, why couldn’t Biden’s intelligence officials explain to clueless Biden  that it was imperative that he direct our military to shoot the balloon down before it traveled over America ?  Sam writes that those gliders can be disguised to look like anything, a rock perhaps ?  They lie dormant until the Chinese activate them.  Finding those dormant  listening devices will be next to impossible !   By the way, that balloon did not drift over our country and our military bases, the Chinese steered it over our military bases ! Nancy

Are There Chinese Sensors On US Nuke Bases? Is Anybody Looking For Them?

 
By Sam Faddis    Sam Faddis is a retired CIA operations officer   February 14, 2025  

EXCERPT FROMTHIS ARTICLE:  Most of the press coverage has focused on the fact that the balloon had a lot of U.S. tech on board. For example, it was communicating with Beijing via Iridium satellite communications. Less attention has been paid to the fact that the balloon was carrying gliders. That means it was carrying devices that could be dropped in flight and then glide down to a safe landing on the ground.

“Sensor Drop. A high-altitude balloon can drop autonomous gliders that travel to land near targets of interest. The gliders can be outfitted with sensors to detect anything from micro vibrations (i.e. passing trucks, tanks) to radiation or chemical particles (affluents) in the air. Targets might include military, nuclear, or chemical production or storage facilities. A balloon could deploy dozens of gliders. With a conservative 10-to-1 glide ratio, a GPS guided glider released at 60,000 feet could travel over 100 miles to its target.”

We don’t know exactly what those gliders carried because they had all been dropped before the balloon came down. The container within the balloon’s payload, which held them, was empty when it was recovered. Presumably, that means those gliders are somewhere on American soil. Of course, that could be anywhere, but I’ll put my money on somewhere near the key facilities located at all those American nuclear facilities the balloon was allowed to circle by China Joe.

CASH FOR MIGRANTS

CASH FOR MIGRANTS: FEMA NOT THE ONLY AGENCY SPENDING BIG

The Office of Refugee Resettlement has faced questions over transparency, conflict of interest.

OpenTheBooks    February 13, 2025

Elon Musk reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spent $59 million last week alone – all on immigrants in New York City. Part of that was for housing, including luxury properties like The Row and The Watson, meant for tourists headed to see the marquees of Broadway. (Later the feds clawed back $80M from the city).

Open the Books previously reported that FEMA had an enormous $8 billion shortfall in its Disaster Relief Fund following the catastrophic damage of Hurricane Helene.

Well, FEMA is not the only agency that’s been spending gobs of taxpayer dollars on the immigration crisis. Programs span various agencies.

Included is the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), housed inside the Department of Health and Human Services subagency called the Administration for Children and Families.

ORR has spent over $22.6 BILLION since 2020 on grants to nonprofits providing everything from help accessing Medicaid to help building credit, help with home and auto loans, and cash assistance. Yes, cold hard cash!

WHAT IS ORR?

 

While Department of Homeland Security is often thought of as the main agency in charge of migration policy and spending in the United States, ORR spends tens of billions a year setting up refugees in the United States. Programmatic activities had a focus on, but were not exclusive to, unaccompanied children.

As Open the Books previously reported, one ORR program helped participants save for car and home purchases, another gave out business and personal loans to help them build credit. Another program helped with “legal assistance,” “cultural orientation,” and “emergency housing support.”

These acted as giant magnets for those seeking to cross the border and claim asylum.

As spending from ORR exploded, Open the Books also identified instances where the agency was expanding the scope of criteria for individuals eligible for its funding. For example, in its 2023 Congressional Budget Justification, the agency suggested the following changes to expand its mandate:

  • Advocating that “Special Immigrant Juvenile Minors” within the “Unaccompanied Refugee Minor” (URM) program access the same benefits as refugees, which include access to Medicaid and the same foster care services as American children.
  • Expanding legal assistance to Ukrainian and Afghan children and other URM-designated youth to legal assistance ensuring permanent residency.
  • Giving cash assistance to full-time college or technical school student refugees.
  • Removing the need for refugees to obtain economic self-sufficiency “as quickly as possible.”

Total amount of new grants awarded by ORR, from FY 2020-2024

2020: $2,682,493,224.22

2021: $2,352,120,351.54
2022: $3,378,055,499.50
2023: $10,035,487,466.68
2024: $4,207,541,746.00

WHY LIBERALS SHOULDN’T MOURN USAID

Tuesday, February 11th, 2025

 

Why Liberals Shouldn’t Mourn USAID

Tuesday, February 11, 2025    by Walter Samuel  

The demise of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been swift and total. But while liberals have devolved into literal tears over the dissolution of the once-obscure foreign aid agency, they should not mourn its passing if they are truly concerned about America’s “standing” in the world.

USAID, for all practical purposes, was running its own foreign policy. Through strategic grants, it bred dependency that allowed it to in effect take over large segments of the charity/NGO (non-governmental organization) sector around the world. To say it bestrode the world stage like a giant would not be unfair. The Pentagon’s procurement office could learn something from the manner in which USAID utilized everything from newspapers to theaters and even vaccination campaigns to advance its agenda.

Whether that agenda was in the best interests of the United States is, to say the least, doubtful.

The original mission of USAID, which President Kennedy established in 1961, was to advance American influence by advancing American values around the world. During the Cold War, when there was something of a common American culture, socially “progressive” within a civically Judeo-Christian, pro-free market mindset, there was little contradiction between advancing America’s perceived values and boosting American influence.

In a conflict against an atheistic, socialist Soviet Union, the idea that humans should be free to believe what they wished was at once both conservative and “progressive.” When the status quo across much of the world was feudalism or central planning, the idea that anyone, regardless of religion, race, or gender should be able to own property or start a business was both “progressive” and capitalist.

What changed after the 1990s was the values that USAID sought to advance.

Equality is universal. Everyone should be treated the same regardless of background. Equity and DEI, on the other hand, are divisive. These concepts define people based on immutable characteristics like race and sex. By embracing DEI, USAID ceased advancing the shared interests of the United States and the people of the world, and instead chose specific individuals and groups to favor, most notably those dedicated to LGBT or feminist causes and religious or ethnic minorities.

INSIDE THE REVOLUTION – HOW THE TRUMP TEAM BROKE THROUGH AND IDENTIFIED BILLIONS OF WASTED TAXPAYER MONEY

Monday, February 10th, 2025

 

HOW THE TRUMP TEAM  BROKE THROUGH AND IDENTIFIED BILLIONS OF  WASTED TAXPAYER MONEY 

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:  

While media allies prepared hit pieces, DOGE’s algorithms exposed decades of questionable transactions.

The scale was breathtaking:

EPA climate initiatives? Not just mapped—found unauthorized programs in 47 states. Education’s DEI maze? Not just exposed—revealed coordination across 1,200 programs. Intelligence community black budgets? Not just traced—uncovered patterns hidden for 30 years.

“The administrative state runs on two things,” a senior advisor explained, watching patterns emerge across DOGE’s screens. “Control of information and money flows.” His eyes tracked new connections forming in real-time. “We’re not just exposing their networks—we’re rewriting their DNA.”

The cracks began showing in unexpected places. A career EPA director, tears streaming: “Everything we built…” A USAID veteran, hands shaking: “They’re inside all of it…” A Treasury lifer, closing his office: “They move faster than we can think.”

Across Washington, officials who had weathered every reform since Reagan began quietly updating LinkedIn profiles. A Deputy Director: “Open to opportunities.” An Agency Chief: “Exploring new challenges.” A Bureau Head: “Time for change.”

DOGE’s algorithms weren’t just programs—they were archaeology tools, excavating decades of buried networks. Each data point connected to another. Each discovery revealed new targets. Each pattern exposed larger systems.

“It’s beautiful,” one of the coders whispered, watching connections form across his screen. “Like watching a galaxy map itself.”

For the permanent bureaucracy, this wasn’t just change. It was an extinction-level event. Their power came from controlling who got paid, when they got paid, and what they got paid for. Now those controls were evaporating like dawn burning away darkness.

The pattern was devastating in its simplicity:

  1. Map the money flows
  2. Deploy aligned personnel
  3. Expose the networks
  4. Restructure the systems

By the time bureaucrats drafted objections to one breach, three more had already occurred.

OVERRIDE    

INSIDE THE REVOLUTION REWIRING AMERICAN POWER

The clock struck 2 AM on Jan 21, 2025.

In Treasury’s basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting.

“We’re in,” Akash Bobba messaged the team. “All of it.”

ELON MUSK AND FEMA

Monday, February 10th, 2025

 

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
The
@DOGE
 team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.
Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.
That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals!
A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

$1 BILLION RELIGIOUS CHARITIES SPENT ON FUNDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Friday, February 7th, 2025

 

Taxpayers Spent Over $1 Billion Facilitating The Migrant Pipeline Via Religious ‘Charities’ In 2024

February 5, 2025

For years, loads of cash, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, have bolstered migrant resettlement services, often administered by faith-based nonprofits. In fiscal year 2024 alone, the U.S. government spent more than $2.7 billion on “refugee and entrant assistance” programs, and more than $1 billion went to nonprofits connected to four major Christian denominations: Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, and the United Methodist Church.

That staggering number only skims the surface of the complicated funding web supporting immigration through multiple federal offices, with contracts and grants given to state and local governments as well as secular and faith-based nonprofits, including other denominations not mentioned here.

Normally, religious nonprofits rely on donors who expect to see their money used to solve social ills. But when an increase in the problem (in this case, more refugees in need of financial and other assistance) means more government cash, “charities” are incentivized to show a need for more taxpayer funds by keeping the problem unsolved. Data from usaspending.gov shows the problem has gotten worse. Most nonprofits serving immigrants saw year-over-year increases in funding during President Joe Biden’s term. This is something donors would not tolerate. The government should let taxpayers decide whether they want to continue supporting a nonprofit infrastructure that places migrants around the United States.

President Donald Trump is changing the immigration landscape, cutting funding from these programs and sending illegal aliens back to their home countries. He aims to stamp out criminal coyote networks that sneak thousands of unvetted illegal aliens into the United States, and to hobble the deadly drug cartels that supply U.S. addiction.

Attracting Immigration

You would think Christian groups working with the immigrant population would be elated Trump is trying to end illegal immigration, but instead, they are resisting it and issuing angry statements.

Immigration attorney Barbara Graham of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s Refugee & Immigration Services recently released a video offering advice for how migrants can slow officials investigating their workplace.

A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY

Thursday, February 6th, 2025

 

 

The Most Outrageous, Horrific Things USAID Did With Your Tax Dollars

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:

USAID, the country’s chief international aid agency, enjoys an annual budget of over $40 billion in appropriations—much of it splurged on a host of far-left foreign causes that run counter to Trump’s America First agenda. “They’re not a global charity,” Rubio said of USAID’s spending spree. “These are taxpayer dollars. People are asking simple questions. What are they doing with the money?”

Here are some of the most horrific projects, outrageous initiatives, and biggest boondoggles USAID has financed:

1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Until Trump’s funding freeze, USAID was actively paying for “sex-change” procedures in Guatemala. USAID poured $2 million into Asociación Lambda, a Guatemalan LGBTQ+ activist organization, to “strengthen trans-led” activism and provide “gender-affirming health care,” grant records show. Launched in April 2024, the five-year program was slated to span through the spring of 2027.

Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s new chairman, released a report Tuesday exposing USAID’s frivolous DEI-related expenses. Among them, Mast reported, $1 million went toward supporting French-speaking LGBTQ+ groups in West and Central Africa, $3.3 million was blown on normalizing “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean,” and $425,600 helped Indonesian coffee companies become “more climate and gender friendly.”

Mast said $1.5 million had gone toward promoting job opportunities for LGBTQ-identifying individuals in Serbia, $16,500 for fostering a “united and equal queer-feminist discourse in Albanian society,” $47,000-plus on a “transgender opera” in Colombia, $32,000 for an LGBTQ-centered comic book in Peru, $70,880 on a musical promoting DEI in Ireland, $20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador, over $7,000 for a BIPOC speaker series in Canada, more than $39,650 to host seminars at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on “gender identity and racial equality,” $80,000 on an LGBTQ community center in Slovakia, $10,000 on pressuring Lithuanian corporations to push DEI messaging, and $8,000 to promote DEI among LGBTQ+ groups in Cyprus.

USAID’s Office of Chief Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility notified Congress just before Christmas that they’ve earmarked money (about $1 million) for several programs that will support “marginalized” groups in Indonesia, Guatemala, and Kenya. The funding notice said USAID would “engage with Indigenous-led institutions to implement an Indigenous language technology program” in Guatemala.

2. Climate Activism

In March 2023, USAID set aside up to $1 million to help disabled people in Tajikistan become “climate leaders.” The grant notice solicited proposals for a “Disability-Inclusive Climate Action” project in the Central Asian country that would ensure that disabled Tajikistanis are included “in the development of climate change response and mitigation policies.”

In May 2023, USAID unveiled a $1.5 million effort aimed at “empowering women to adapt to climate change in northern Kenya.” Women in the area, USAID wrote, live in “traditionally patriarchal communities” and need training to join Kenya’s fight against climate change. The program would “improve their participation in decision making” and “enhance adaptive capabilities to climate change.”

THE DIRTY DOZEN – WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Wednesday, February 5th, 2025

 

The Dirty Dozen: Here Are Wasteful Federal Grants You’re Paying For

January 30, 2025
EXCERPT FROM THE ARTICLE:

1. The State Department — $100,000 to Free to Run, Inc. The grant, which is set to expire at the end of May, was sold as a program for “Building Palestinian girls’ and young women’s resilience through … weekly running and wellness sessions.” Is Hamas on board with this girl empowerment initiative? Free to Run’s founder, Stephanie Case, is a division chief for the the terrorist-tied United National Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Talk about confusion, Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, told the Washington Examiner the Biden administration’s decision to fund the “Palestinian girls’ fun run confused “the hell” out of him.

“None of this sh*t surprises me, but these things frustrate the hell out of the American people,” Nehls said.

2. National Science Foundation — A two-year grant award expected to top $1.5 million to Florida State University to fund “Black Feminist Epistemologies: Building a Sisterhood in Computing.” The NSF abstract defends the award in part by noting that, “Recent studies reveal that Black women enrolled in undergraduate computing degree programs at predominantly white institutions (PWIs) attest to the lack of support, mentorship, and resources that impede their ability to complete their degrees.” Just who conducted said studies is not clear.

3.  National Science Foundation —  $119,520 for a conference titled “Re-imagining Biology Education Through Social Justice,” featuring a talk on “Gender-Inclusive Adaptations to Biology Teaching.” Imagine that.

4. Department of Agriculture —  $717,000 to Ohio State University. The money is being used to solve the “cultural resistance in the USA and Europe [that] impedes the acceptance of insect proteins as food sources,” according to the project grant. The grant states that “to overcome cultural barriers, a multidisciplinary research initiative seeks to develop sustainable extraction methods for obtaining protein, lipids, and valuable components from insect meal.”  This thing is funded through the end of August 2027.

5. National Science Foundation —$399,930 to Montana State University. This DEI project, funded through September 2027, is supposed to honor “indigenous knowledge” by “infusing native ways of knowing into engineering education,” but without engaging in the “misappropriation of indigenous knowledge.” What about misappropriation of taxpayer money?

6. Institute of Museum & Library Services —  $352,799 to the University of Wisconsin System to investigate “play-based programs and spaces” at museums and develop a “diversity audit tool for practitioners to examine their play programs and spaces for diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging considerations.”  The National Leadership grant, funded through the end of next year, is a DEI project “with a specific focus on play offerings for children 0-12.”

7. National Science Foundation  $634,856, also to the University of Wisconsin System. The grant, funded through August 2027, provides federal tax dollars for the exploration of “urgent yet underexplored dimensions of equity-minded pedagogical change work in higher education.” This urgency of equity indoctrination includes “an 8-hour short course, where participants will learn about and identify how racial exploitation and settler colonialism have shaped not only the history of the geosciences, but also its current practices and disciplinary culture.”

8. National Endowment for the Humanities — $54,981 to support a “Critical Game Studies” minor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The grant program brought “rhetorical and literary theories together with feminist studies, queer studies and ethnic studies to investigate how game narratives shape and are shaped by power structures and cultural representations.”  Game night will never be the same. How about some LGBTQ Scrabble? Or Feminist Yahtzee? Something special from Parker Brothers.
