Odds & Ends

A USAID official and three government contractors pleaded guilty to a decade-long bribery scheme involving over $550 million in contracts, according to the DOJ.

Beginning in 2013, USAID official Roderick Wilson agreed with corporate executive Darryl Britt to receive bribes in exchange for Watson’s influence to award contracts to a small business named Apprio and its subcontractor Vistant.

Watson received more than $1 million in bribes to steer no-bid contracts to Apprio and Vistant.

Anybody who cares about good and effective government should be concerned about the waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies, including USAID.

Reducing USAID’s footprint will undoubtedly save taxpayer money.

It has been quite a week for the Democratic Party. They have been exposed as protectors fo murderers, rapists, sex traffickers, etc. Now they are promoting and protecting people who commit arson, loot, try to assault police, etc.

There is little doubt at this point in time that DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have been the most effective at delivering results for the American people. Actions speak louder than words and while many on the Trump team talk a good game, the results these two are obtaining outshine the rest of them.

Summer of Love

The Summer of Love 2025 has started. This year, Los Angeles rather than Minneapolis is the epicenter. Despite claims to the contrary by the mayor, Los Angeles is experiencing some of the worst riots in decades. Looting and arson are present just as they were across the country in 2020. Rioters are throwing stones, bricks and anything else they can get their hands on. Just as in Minneapolis, groups of business owners are banding together to protect their livelihoods from the aggression of the shock troops unleashed and encouraged by the mayor and the governor.

Conservative scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson has released a new video in which he talks about the situation in Los Angeles.

Hanson suggests that California Governor Gavin “Brylcreme” Newsom has ‘ruined’ whatever chance he had to be taken seriously as a national candidate. If Newsom is was refusing to act to keep Americans safe from violence in Los Angeles, why would he ever be able to face difficult decisions in the White House.

War On America

The Democrats war on America continues. A real insurrection is taking place in some of the bluest of cities. This is especially true in Californistan. Based on the statements of the governor as well as some mayors, functionally the West Coast is in a state of insurrection and is declaring Federal law to be void.

Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (C-NY) has called for the doxxing of ICE agents and other federal officers involved in illegal immigration sweeps and who have already faced death threats.

“Every single ICE agent who’s engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that. This is America. This is not the Soviet Union. We’re not behind the Iron Curtain. This is not the 1930s. And every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will, of course, be identified.”

War on America

The Democratic Party continues its war on America. MAGA supporters are routinely characterized as Nazis. During the OBiden administration, anyone who spoke out against the administration’s ideologies was a potential target for the weaponized DOJ and FBI.

Parents who spoke out at school board meetings against CRT, DEI and the trans BS were placed on potential investigation lists as domestic terrorists. Some were arrested for protesting these insane policies. Catholics who preferred to attend the Latin Mass were seen as domestic extremists by the OBiden FBI. J6ers who entered the Capitol at the invitation of Capitol Police spent years in jail.

The Left is using the LGBTQ spectrum to try to divide the country. According to the Left, the failure to bow down and celebrate these ideas is tantamount to spreading evil across the land. As many celebrities have found out, just trying to engage in a rational discussion will lead to attempts to cancel the individual. The Left does this because the Marxist approach to class warfare does not work in this country.

Free Speech

We have all watched while radical gender ideologies have penetrated deeply into our society. June as “Pride Month” is an example of this incursion into the normal sensibilities of most people. The allowing of books into the school libraries that school boards will not allow to be read at board meetings because they are pornographic is another such example. The arrest of a father at a board meeting because he complained about the rape of his daughter in a school bathroom by a drag queen, 15-year-old boy is a third.

By The Numbers

All of the economic numbers continue to show steady progress in the right direction for America. This is what the people of America voted for last year. Of course, they also voted for stopping the disaster at our borders. Both promises are being kept.
