Per the Biden Doctrine, there are no limitations.

Well alrighty then!
Let the scythe start swinging! This .gov bloated bullshit has GOT to go.
I’ll believe it when I see it.

I have no idea about JD Vance and never heard of him before. Interesting choice in my view. I hope he finds a place for Vivek in the administration.

President Trump should ask Vivek Ramaswamy to head the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management, and tell him his job is halving the fed.gov budget and RIFing 50% of the fed.gov workforce, feds and contractors (like me) included.

I know I'm late to this, but I totally agree. I read on Twitter that Vivek should be selected to replace Vance as Ohio's Senator. But, I think he could be much more effective in a Trump Administration post helping to clear out the deep state cesspool in the federal gov't.

As Ramaswamy pointed out, the civil service rules protect individual employees, not large numbers chosen for an executive branch RIF.

Remember when Gabby Giffords got shot and the media crucified Sarah Palin for a picture with a target on Giffords? Where is the outrage now?

AFAIK, about all that could be done would be to announce the closing of entire departments- and that would be an excellent idea for his first day in office, but I doubt much of anything will be done.

‘96 worked because Gingrich planned it for years.

It takes that level of pre-planning to be able to actually help the Republic.

Up to us to make this happen. Get everyone you can to vote for Trump

That was (D)ifferent.

If it was a SR25 which placed the kill shot on Crooks noggin, call me impressed as that was a 330 yard shot. I recall the 1st year of the KAC .308. Stoner proposed to Remington Arms that they make a barrel which is up to the standards of his rifle. Remington, long known for barrel quality, countered with, KAC should build a rifle which would be up to the quality of a Remington barrel. I recall the article of the test shooting of the SR25. Most rounds tested were nearly through the same hole at 100 yards.

I don't think I've seen it mentioned, but wouldn't that water tower in the back of that picture be a perfect spot for a counter sniper team? Yet it was unmanned? A 3rd grader would've known to put a team up there.

The total contribution from the Tesla CEO and head of social media platform X will be a stunning $45 million a month. …”

That was good.

Thank you for posting.

Secret Service boss just said no one was placed on that roof because it was sloped and would be unsafe. Anyone else realize whats wrong with that statement?

The rooftop was too steep to have an Agent on it? Are you serious? That rooftop looked almost flat. The rooftop where the snipers were located appeared to be steeper than the roof Crooks was on.


United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle acknowledged in the interview that responsibility for the security failure that led to the attempted assassination of Trump ultimately rests with herself.

She said the Secret Service was aware of the security vulnerabilities presented by the building Crooks took a sniper's position on to aim at Trump. However, a decision was made not to place any personnel on the roof.

"That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside," she said.
