DOGE has gained access to FEMA’s sensitive disaster data

Elon Musk’s agents have gained access to FEMA’s sensitive disaster data

FEMA officials raised concerns that Trump could soon follow through on his pledge to dismantle the agency responsible for funding disaster relief.

Less than two weeks after President Donald Trump said his administration would consider making the Federal Emergency Management Agency “go away,” representatives of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency were at the agency and reviewing the grant programs it uses to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters, according to four current and two former FEMA officials.

The presence of DOGE at FEMA has caused uncertainty and confusion, raising fears that Trump could soon follow through on his pledge to dismantle the agency, as his administration is doing with the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Under Biden FEMA abandoned North Carolina. As soon as Trump was able he ordered all hands to come to that beleaguered state’s aid.

Follow this guy for the sorry FEMA saga that Trump is setting right.

Trump Should Shutter USAID — Development Economics Is a Hotbed for Corruption

The field of development economics ignores all the factors that make free-market countries successful — while lining the personal pockets of its advocates.

In 2007 New York City-based professor and economist William Easterly published his intentionally provocative book, White Man’s Burden: Why the West’s Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good. In it, he argued that after more than half a century of Western aid to the “third world,” there was no positive correlation between the amount of money given and a rise in a recipient nation’s GDP.

This was followed by another book in 2014 by the same author called The Tyranny of Experts: Economists, Dictators, and the Forgotten Rights of the Poor. In this book, he carried his argument even further by pointing out that one of the main reasons that so many third-world countries were still “developing” is that Western experts have invented a field called “development economics.”

Trump announces task force to end ‘anti-Christian bias’

Donald Trump unveiled a task force to root out “anti-Christian bias” in government as he accused his predecessor Joe Biden of “persecuting” Christians during his presidency.

Speaking at two events in Washington for the annual National Prayer Breakfast, Trump announced a string of initiatives, including a presidential commission on religious liberty and a White House “faith office”.

Tulsi Gabbard, the Smear Machine, and the Battle for America’s Intelligence Integrity

In a time of growing distrust in institutions and blatant political double standards, the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has exposed the festering rot in America’s political and intelligence establishment.

Gabbard is a decorated combat veteran and former congresswoman. Once hailed as a rising star in the Democrat party, she has since been relentlessly smeared—from being labeled a “Russian asset” to even being placed on a terrorist watchlist during the Biden-Harris administration. These attacks aren’t just absurd; they expose how deeply politicized the intelligence community has become.

‘If you genuinely think Trump is a fascist, go and have a lie down’

The Roman salute, the Sieg Heil, the YMCA dance. The comparison is so absurd it practically debunks itself.

Anyone who genuinely thinks that Trump’s America – whatever else you might think of the man or his policies – can be mentioned in the same breath as fascist Italy or Nazi Germany needs to get a grip.

Because let’s be clear about what we are talking about here. Fascism, and especially its Nazi incarnation, was an evil the like of which the world had never seen before. Or, thankfully, since.

Germany’s Right Surges as Voters Back Tough Migration Stance

Talking tough on migration has reaped its reward in Germany: both the centre-right CDU/CSU alliance and the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party have risen in the polls following their support for a non-binding motion that aims to turn back migrants at the border.

According to a survey commissioned by public broadcaster ARD, both parties gained one percentage point compared to a previous poll. The CDU/CSU alliance now stands at 31%, making it the frontrunner for the elections on February 23rd. The AfD is on 21% in second place.

What All Americans Can Learn from Ellen DeGeneres’s Disastrous Escape to Europe

When Donald Trump secured his second term as president, several wealthy liberals threatened to leave the country. Most were bluffing. Ellen DeGeneres wasn’t.

Once the queen of daytime television, Ellen packed her bags and moved to the English countryside with her wife Portia De Rossi. Seeking refuge from the political climate, the couple soon discovered that the grass isn’t always greener. Sometimes, it’s entirely scorched.

Their £15 million ($18 million) Cotswolds estate has sparked outrage among locals, with accusations that renovations are creating a flood risk and disturbing ancient Roman ruins. It’s an ironic twist — fleeing the hostility of America, only to face a different kind of hostility abroad.

‘Canada First rally’ expected to be major rebranding of Conservative campaign, say senior Tories

The Conservative Party’s upcoming rally in Ottawa is expected to serve as a major rebranding effort, shifting the focus from “Axe the Tax” to “Canada First,” and is anticipated to act as an unofficial launch of the next election campaign, say some senior Conservatives.

“This is the launch of a different branding that we’re going towards,” a top Conservative told The Hill Times. “It’s a different campaign. It is a major shift. We’ve been testing new messaging because the problem with the carbon tax election is that it may not be relevant in a couple of weeks.”

Canadians pick Mark Carney over Pierre Poilievre, Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould to negotiate with Donald Trump: Nanos survey

Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney would do the best job at negotiating with U.S. President Donald Trump, over Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, and fellow leadership candidates Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould, according to new polling from Nanos Research conducted for CTV News.

When asked “Which of the following politicians would do the best job at negotiating with U.S. president Donald Trump?”, two out of five, or 40 per cent of respondents, answered Mark Carney.

This is the result of the media propagated wave of TDS patriotism the LPC ordered.
