Speaking of the unelected!
The BBC continues to obsess about Elon Musk, drawing attention to his participation in the next cabinet meeting while not holding a cabinet position.
At the same time I hear murmurings, probably about to grow louder, that George Soros is to be praised as a philanthropist! Itโ€™s significant that the left media (which is most of them) has remained stumm about the funding of campaigns for various state and city official positions, be they DAs or governors, by funds associated with George.
Nor did they point out the โ€œunelectedโ€ status of Fauci & Co despite them being primary advisers to the Trump White House during the covid we had to have.
Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation performed well in the face of concerted gotcha questioning during the latest Newshour program on the BBC. He had to counter all manner of attacks on Trump and Musk, such as โ€œTrump is behaving like a monarch with all those Executive Ordersโ€  – Obama still holds the record for the number of those. The attacks on Musk, who is doing a great job and is no threat to the USA, stand in stark contrast to the treatment of characters like Mayorkas who presided over an unprecedented influx of illegals, which has damaged the USA both financially and in terms of crimes committed.
Most of the Biden era appointments would have been easy to criticise, but no, the MSM wasnโ€™t interested in doing that.

Effin hell. Trump should pull all military out of Europe under the guise of a excercise. Let the sound of chirping crickets rule the roost.

Ramstein AFB going dark would be approrpiate. F8ck the the Krauts doing that Afghan backfilp.

Here in OZ, the gates are open for equal filth to wreck the joint.

Alex has been running amok of late.

People have been saying, “That is no way to have a debate”

BS I say. When you engage with ferals, use their own tactics against them.

You’re absolutely right Steve. They build a lot of cars there too and I’ll never buy a car built there again.

Defence lawyers should subpoena this ex-prosecutor and ask “does the DPP prosecute cases that it knows are baseless?”

When he says “yes”, “no further questions your honour”.

It’s truly staggering how far civilisation has fallen.

The case wasn’t actually about SA funnily enough but it’s what happens when women hold the levers of power. Emotions and virtue signalling trump logic and consistency.

For those of us without an Australian subscription, what is the case in question?

Mark Stone on Sky:
“The three branches of government are supposed to be co-equal.”
This is a new talking point of the left media.
“But in the cabinet it is more like everyone being dominated by one man.”
This reflects a poor understanding of the American system, as well as being a completely misleading non-sequitur.

Elon’s new chainsaw is getting a workout…

Trump Administration Directs Large-Scale Federal Layoffs (26 Feb)

Federal agencies must develop plans to eliminate employee positions, according to a memo distributed by President Donald Trump ‘s administration that sets in motion what could become a sweeping realignment of American government.

The memo expands the Republican president’s effort to downsize the federal workforce, which he has described as bloated and impediment to his agenda. Thousands of probationary employees have already been fired, and now his administration is turning its attention to career officials with civil service protection.

Agencies are directed to submit by March 13 their plans for what is known as a reduction in force, which would not only lay off employees but eliminate the position altogether.

Lefty judges will be wailing and injuncting like crazy over this. We’ll see how it goes.

Good luck to NY’s Jews.

It really is time to admit that Islam is incompatible with the West.

Either wear the proper uniform, or piss off to some Islamic hellhole.

Enough of the cultural demands and Third World behaviour.

Islam always comes first to the host country’s detriment.
