This is exactly my line up. And then I like Tim Dillon for his humorous satirical take on the weekend.

Musk talked about it a little on Rogan
And what I took from it wasn't so much that it's all about social security checks going out to dead people (though that certainly happens to an extent) but that it allows a second order of fraud. What he explained (that was news to me) is that many other agencies that disperse entitlements use the Social Security database to prove someone is eligible for other benefits. So, if Agency A, B, C, etc ping the database and the answer comes back, "yes, this person exists and has a social security number" then the fraudster could be getting other benefits even if they aren't receiving a social security check. I thought that was interesting.

In early February 1990, U.S. leaders made the Soviets an offer. According to transcripts of meetings in Moscow on Feb. 9, then-Secretary of State James Baker suggested that in exchange for cooperation on Germany, U.S. could make “iron-clad guarantees” that NATO would not expand “one inch eastward.” Less than a week later, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to begin reunification talks. No formal deal was struck, but from all the evidence, the quid pro quo was clear: Gorbachev acceded to Germany’s western alignment and the U.S. would limit NATO’s expansion.

U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University (https://nsarchive.gwu.edu).

The in-your-face political bias and corruption in the one place that is supposed to be free of it (our “justice” system) is frankly infuriating. I hope we see some judicial impeachments this year.

Trump needs to channel his inner Andrew Jackson.
I agree with the spirit of this. It may even prove to be the best course. I wonder if Trump is just weighing the benefit of plowing ahead against the absolute apoplexy the left and the media will suffer while screeching about "Trump *is* a dictator, we warned you!" and "extrajudicial" actions and crying about how "no one is above the law!" We all know there is a segment of the relatively politically unengaged population that will be influenced by that.
Anyway, whatever he decides, I'm here for it. I don't think he's made any significant missteps so far.

Nope, impossible. Literally no person ever who had just had a momentous 20 hour day, especially following weeks and months of stressful travelling and campaigning (interrupted only by a couple of assassination attempts) could conceivably appear tired or sleepy during a morning church service. This is an undeniable sign that he is worse off than dementia Joe.

Maybe if she talks with her hands more and wags that finger with more vigor, she'll get that pay raise she deserves with all that education she has.
My favorite part was when she said she was the least paid person in the Biden White House, not realizing how that basically negates her complaint. :lol:

Elon’s Dodgecast
This DOGE thing has turned out so much better than I expected. I assumed Elon would be quietly auditing in the background and sending reports of his findings to the appropriate bosses or Trump to review and take action on as appropriate. I had no idea he’d be putting every shenanigan he found on blast daily, and I am ecstatic that it’s being done this way! Radical transparency and public awareness may be the only way to drain the swamp.

Yeah, Megyn made that very point, and they do discuss some ideas. Part of the plan seems to be various ways to incentivize illegals to return on their own. But he also talked about "force multipliers"--basically enabling other law enforcement types to utilize ICE powers/authority.

Indeed. And when given the space to really dig into the subject matter (instead of just going back and forth with the Martha Raddatz's of the world who only want to score sound bites to further their agendas), it becomes really obvious how competent he is. His command of his subject matter is remarkable, and he has a real passion for doing this job.
Trump hit a homerun with this hire.

yeah, when he gets going fast, you have to listen really closely to pick it all up. There were about two spots in this interview where I didn't get a phrase because of that. But it was still a fantastic listen. He got choked up at one point talking about some of his experiences as a border patrol agent. That's something you never see when his interviewers are being adversarial with him.
