I'm feeling cheery not cherry. And no, I didn't chop down that tree.
Excellent program on Jesse Watters’ show this evening. He was talking with Musk and the DOGE team and they all shared very interesting info. I told my wife perhaps they should ALL get the Medal of Freedom at some point over the next 4 years.
Listening to Frank Sinatra. Waiting for the wife to get back from her shopping. Thought the guy was cheesy when I was young. "My way" - just the sort of crap John McCain would like.
But there's another Frank. The "One for one baby, One for the road" Sinatra. The "Blues in the Night", The late 50s, early 60s "Only the lonely" Frank Sinatra. That guy was solid Gold.
I know there’s a wealth of info @ doge.gov, but it’s helpful to hear directly from those working on the effort to eliminate waste/fraud/theft.
Seems the moment brain addled Biden took office, child porn prosecutions dropped out of sight. 100 days of Trump in office, and they're on the uptick again. Notices of them on blogs and websites and local papers. And, it appears a lot of them are some of those illegal immigrants the Democrats just seem to love. Not all of them. Some are Democrat politicians, and even a few Republican pols to be honest.
And there's a lot more noise about who is actually performing the child trafficking, though still silence on the customers.
According to GROK, Doge has claimed to have saved so far $160 billion (this is debateable, but let's go with that number).
That's a big number, so let's make it more relatable.
Let's say you were trying to cut your cocaine budget because you're borrowing money to buy cocaine and you're $34,000 in debt. Let's say you spend $6,751 a year on cocaine, and you're borrowing $1,900 of that every year adding to your debt. So you decide to cut back.
If you save as much as DOGE has, then you would spend $160 less per year on cocaine.
You would still be borrowing $1,740 a year for your cocaine habit. And you would still be drowning in debt because you are a cocaine addict.

I'm not so sure of that. It's kind of like the TSA. Do we WANT all the details of everything that's been stopped? Because publicising those details will help the next attempt to get past the TSA, or help hide stuff from DOGE.
I can wait for the results.
Noted that the loyal corrupt Soviet Democratic ABC CBS NBC newz a-holes won't interview Musk.
NOTED!

We already have the answer to that.
Nothing.
TSA is absolutely useless since they are not allowed to profile terrorists. Heaven forbid we profile the only group of people who randomly detonate killing others around them. That would be discriminatory.
Another great musician, I've Re-evaluated is Pete fountain. Great Clarinet. Loved his playing with Al Hirt
We’ll all have to wait, Jerry, and the teamsharing some anecdotal instances doesn’t really spill the beans. The people who have been exploiting the lack of traceability, accountability have already begun backing away from trying the same actions they’ve all been getting away with for God knows how long.
One instance there was what amounted to a $20M slush fund that people had been dipping their beaks in and then the team instituted a policy where one had to submit online a basic receipt for the activity before drawing any funds out and - all of a sudden - there were no more withdrawals from the fund.
I find it hard to understand how this total unaccountability for hundreds of millions has gone on for decades.
Diet tip: Grok or other AI, preferably one that remembers your conversations from day to day.
By diet, I don’t mean only for losing weight but to keep track of sodium, proteins, carbs, potassium, iron, etc. Whatever you want to keep track of.
If you eat out all you have to do is input the name of the restaurant and your entree and Grok (or other AI) will calculate the rest. If you make modifications to the entree - without rice for example - Grok will take that into account as it calculates your totals.
Also Grok will make suggestions. For instance Grok told me I should try to add some edamame. So I asked what restaurants in my area (I gave Grok my zip code) served edamame with their salads. Grok gave me a list of restaurants and entree ideas.
Grok will also criticize some choices as not being in line with the goals you set. For instance, I didn’t know sour cream had salt in it.
It’s amazing how helpful Grok is in this area.

Absolutely bang on Boogie woogie
For some reason Euros feel the need to clap along with boogie woogie. Which would be OK, if they knew how to do it. Mostly its just Goddamn annoying. Clap along - if you know how. Otherwise, just sit there.
Let me add to the subject of diet and Grok.
I have found it most helpful to make one entry a day and to specifically say “This is a new day and the date”
If you don’t tell Grok it’s a new day, Grok will add your food choices to the day before. If you input your meals one at a time then Grok will give you this long breakdown of each meal. It’s just less confusing for me to do one input at the end of the day.
According to the NYT, Mr. Musk, now that he is stepping away from DOGE, and without providing details, has said that DOGE is likely to save taxpayers only $150 billion.
That is about 15 percent of the $1 trillion he pledged to save, less than 8 percent of the $2 trillion in savings he had originally promised, and a fraction of the nearly $7 trillion the federal government spent in the 2024 fiscal year.
The Partnership for Public Service... estimates that firings, re-hirings, lost productivity, and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year. At the Internal Revenue Service, a DOGE-driven exodus of 22,000 employees would cost about $8.5 billion in revenue in 2026 alone, according to figures from the Budget Lab at Yale University. The total number of departures is expected to be as many as 32,000.
Trump says declaration of independence is about love unity and respect.This is the guy that wants to get rid of department of education. WTF can you imagine what his trumpers believe.Is it a wo Der he loves the uneducated WTF!!!
Any comment prefaced by according to the NYT is immediately recognizable as bullshit.
Sentient folks recognize from countless examples that the NYT is unfit to line a birdcage, Valentine Smith, let alone be a purveyor of unbiased news.
Read all about it! Journalism will be the likely betting favorite in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. With Umberto Rispoli aboard, his 3 to 1 odds currently tops Sovereignty at 5 to 1 and Sandman at 6 to 1.
Iman: Elmo Musk admits that he won't make his targets. That has nothing to do with who reports it.
I like the Cabinet meetings. You get a sense there of the scope of what is being done, something the media is trying to hide and the Dems to block.
Iman - "I find it hard to understand how this total unaccountability for hundreds of millions has gone on for decades."
I don't. Unaccountable money made DC. Slush fund here, slush fund there, a little bit used for something it never was intended for, then a junket, little off the top for a new car, new house...
And then someone comes along and threatens the whole edifice. No wonder they're so angry.
I clicked on Gadfly’s link at 10:29. I was just curious who was making shit up, Gadfly or the NYT. And the answer is, NYT! Boy, that is some horrible journalism. You cut jobs and it costs you $135 billion? Who the fuck is the Partnership for Public Service and why would the NYT wrap whatever remains of its fish wrapper reputation to that stinky fish?
Speaking of creative journalism, 60 Minutes was nominated for an Emmy for its Kamala Harris interview.
Nominated for outstanding editing!
That’s like giving Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize after he invades Canada and kills 10 million people.
At least Obama did absolutely nothing to win his award. 60 Minutes used “editing” to rewrite the interview to make Harris seem less of a chowderhead than she is.
60 Minutes is the stinky fish. Emmy, do you really want to wrap whatever is left of your fish wrapper reputation to that stinky fish?
Emmy-award nominated chicanery and deceit.

Jill Biden will participate, too, live at the show's Manhattan studio.

A couple of fish wrappers (NYT and LAT) are reporting that Paramount is trying to settle the $20 billion lawsuit. They’re in mediation now. Why would you award that?
"I will take $69 million and you have to decline the Emmy. Also you have to decline the Nobel if you are nominated for a Nobel. You have to decline all awards, and I get to brag about my $69 million. That is my offer."
A theater in San Franciso is making a musical about Mangione.
I remember when lefties used to celebrate Charlie Manson.
I remember at the time, 60 Minutes was accused of taking the response from one question and moving it to another question.
And the response from 60 Minutes was to refuse to release all the interview footage.
After the election was over, 60 Minutes finally released all the footage. According to Fox...
The released raw transcript and footage showed that both sets of Harris' comments came from the same response, but CBS News had aired only the first half of her response in the "Face the Nation" preview clip and aired the second half during the primetime special.
So CBS is not guilty of the really bad thing (creating a response that wasn't there). But what's interesting is that instead of releasing the entire interview -- which is what honest journalists would do -- they hid it until the election was over.
CBS News uses the same taped interview editing techniques as Fox News.
I’ll be disappointed by a paltry $160B annual savings. It’s clearly a drop in the bucket of what should or could be achieved. I suspect that, given the ongoing threats to the DOGE team and its efforts, that they have to take great care in how or if they publicize everything they find. Time will tell.
CBS News uses the same taped interview editing techniques as Fox News.
So Fox News deserves an Emmy?
The $20 billion lawsuit is spectacularly bogus, by the way. Aside from the fact that the free speech clause forbids the lawsuit, what are the damages in the case?
"She was giving a word salad answer, really bad answer, and they edited it so her answer sounded better. And it hurt me, it hurt me really bad. I need $20 billion in compensation."
$20 billion is the legal equivalent of 100+ felony prosecutions. The size is there to impress us. But it's really a sign of how ridiculous the underlying charge is.
I thought The Accountant was great, and the sequel looks even better. They've added humor!
Gospace: "And there's a lot more noise about who is actually performing the child trafficking, though still silence on the customers."

"Crude prices rise after US president intensifies pressure on Tehran as nuclear talks falter"
Not to worry. As soon as the 10 year yield climbs back to 4.4%, Trump will wave the White flag and walk back his empty threats.
The price of oil started the week at $63bbl. It dropped to nearly $57bbl yesterday before jumping up to an incredible $59.5 and then dropping back down. It is currently dropping.
In short, Kak is the anti-Cramer and full of shit.

Must be an upside from the Biden term; Trump said yesterday that the US is still under the effects of Biden when discussing the 0.3% contraction. He’s a fair man — surely he’s going to remain consistent and credit Biden for this. 🤔

Wow.
ANOTHER event Abacus Boy LLR-democratical Rich said was literally impossible!
This is now the 377,492nd consecutive prediction/analysis/assessment by our Harry-Sisson of Althouse blog and Jazzy Spirit Fingers Stolen Valor Walz Fangrrrrrl Rich to fail.
Miserably.

“According to GROK, Doge has claimed to have saved so far $160 billion (this is debatable, but let's go with that number).”
My biggest concern is that the efficiency drive will peter out.
On X, Oilfield Rando has regularly included posts about specific programs that the feds have funded that are nonsensical. Reducing federal budgets by those amounts would be a good start.
Stop throwing money at so-called NGOs, universities, charities, etc would be another step.
A straight 10% (just to start the conversation) reduction across the board in budgets, salaries, etc, would be another.
Doing more with less would be a novel approach for federal employees.. It’s a common approach for the private sector, who are actually rated on and paid on performance.
Which - come to think of it - would also be a novel approach for federal/state government employees.
Rocco: "A straight 10% (just to start the conversation) reduction across the board in budgets, salaries, etc, would be another."
Across the board cuts have forever been a complete political narrative loser. Targeted cuts with rationale has always been the correct way but no politicians really wanted to take time/effort to do it, didnt have support from depts or capability to effectively run over them, nor the teams with the rights skills and mentality to execute it.
Until now.
You really do have to feel sorry for this pathetic LLR-democratical creature Rich. Every defeat for his beloved ChiComs sends him reeling and spiraling.
Cherry, Sherry, baby.
Look at that... in early trading, DJIA is up 400 points!!! (which only 1%, but if it was down 400 we'd here it was another kind of Black Friday). NASDAQ and S&P equally up 1%. TSLA is up, but not that much, but then I got back in based on Kak's advice at 221, and now up 60 points.
You know what is down 1% in early trading? That's right, oil.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: "We're going to build NVIDIA's technology, the next generation of that, all here in the United States. Without the President's leadership, his policies, his support, and very importantly his strong encouragement — manufacturing in the United States wouldn't have accelerated to this pace."
Yikes!
Its a nightmare for Beijing suckups like Rich and his New Soviet Democraticals.
"You really do have to feel sorry for this pathetic LLR-democratical creature Rich."
No, you don't.
More from Zerohedge on X (which is thriving despite Abacus Boy Rich telling us for 3 years it was doomed and would die at any moment): "There it is:
Native-born workers: +1.04 million
Foreign-born workers: -410,000"
Uh oh!
ANOTHER little piece of reality that kicks Richie boy in his narrative groin (small target).
There are few things the New Soviet Democraticals despise more than actual Americans getting jobs.
More from Zerohedge on X: "If the S&P 500 closes green today, it would mark the longest winning streak since November 2004."
If that were to occur LLR-democratical Rich might just find himself back in therapy with his pro-islamic supremacist/pro-groomer/pro-murderous drug cartel suppirting antfa types with the requisite comfort toys, crayons and squishy plush animals.
Recall, according to Rich, all Trump policies were to have failed by now and fully collapsed our economy.
Rich is just kind of stupid in that way....amongst many others.

Which is why I’ve been a 3rd party voter at the federal level since 1992 when I first became alarmed at the burgeoning federal debt. Until now. Those 1992 numbers seem so charmingly quaint today.
Several of my Gen X peers who could do the math and shared my concerns about the budget argued that voting 3rd party was just throwing my vote away. But the complete fiscal fecklessness of the politicians post Gringrich has put us in the mess we are in now.
Drago pulls zerohedge out of his cut and paste hat 🤡
The news only comes from a random NGO called American Chamber of Commerce in China without any other sources confirming this. As said in the article, "China’s commerce ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the tariff exemptions. The foreign ministry said it was not familiar with any exemptions and reiterated that there had been no direct talks with the US on reducing tariffs”
The Chinese have a centuries old proverb, "He who tied a bell to the tiger must be the one to untie the bell". It does not get any simpler than that despite the rhetoric or headlines.
LLR-democratical Rich grasping at straws left and right to avoid the undeniable.
What else is a sad little kamala worshipper to do?
Its okay Rich, your ChiCom pals continue to battle with you as their allies and hope springs eternal on the Rich-David Hogg left.
⬆️😵🤡🤡🤡🥃🥃🥃

It’s a lot easier to untie the bell if you kill the tiger first.
And there’s the question of just what exactly the tiger is an analogy for.
"China's factory activity drops to 16-month low in April as trade tariffs bite"
Rich weeps along with his ChiCom allies.
It was ever thus.
Next up for the Harry Sisson of Althouse blog Richie boy: How could he have ever called Jazzy Spirit Fingers Stolen Valor Walz the most brilliant VP choice ever!
The "white coded" dude who represented the New Soviet Democratical idea of the Mostest Macho-est Truck-Repairing Huntin'-est White Man Who Done Evah Lived!!

"The Chinese have a centuries old proverb, "He who tied a bell to the tiger must be the one to untie the bell".”
Your ChiCom allies also have a much more recent axiom they operate under: the New Soviet Democraticals are in Full Alliance with Beijing against the actual best interests of the United States.
Now THAT is what should be setting off "bells" for everyone regarding what Rich and his buddies are up to.
A more pertinent story is how China is quietly diversifying from US Treasuries.
LLR-democratical and Beijing Sellout Rich: "A more pertinent story is how China is quietly diversifying from US Treasuries."
LOL
Nope.
A much more pertinent story is how every single prediction you made regarding US sales of treasuries n April as well as expected rates cratered like every other prediction you have ever made.
Which is why you dropped it like a hot potato.
Move along little man who claims to have "been in the room when big BIG business financial decisions were made"!
Always amusing.
Beijing Weighs Fentanyl Offer to U.S. to Start Trade Talks ~ WSJ

Trump's gripe with China isn't really about fentanyl. Having said that, Trump would be willing to call almost anything a win here.
The lilacs are almost out along my walk home. Awesomeness!
Most interesting to note is the clear rising anger demonstrated by the New Soviet Democraticals over increasing native born American employment numbers, the incredible rapid increase in American manufacturing investment, the closing of Rich's beloved Open Borders/Child Trafficking corridors, etc.
I suspect this rage against what's best forvAmerica will increase geometrically as the year continues.

Yeah, it's simple----once you understand that the "tiger" in that proverb is...the United States, not the already-shaky Chinese economy.
But if you want a dollop of ancient Chinese wisdom, I can't think of a better one than this:
"Too many cooks spoil the Moo Goo Gai Pan."
Meditate on that!!!

What's this? A ChiCom IP thief getting cut off? Better schedule another very sad therapy session for Beijing fanboy Rich.
Even a mid-wit knows that the impact of tariffs is yet to be felt.
“This rally seems to be on the expectation that — with regards to tariffs — the worst has passed,” said Ajay Rajadhyaksha, global chair of research at Barclays. But he added: “In fact it is exactly the contrary. The worst has not yet shown up in the data. Nothing has shown up in the data yet.”
Let's revisit this at the end of 4Q 2025.
