BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

LOOKING TORE UP FROM THE FLOOR UP, NO ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT GLORY HOLE GLENNETH GREENWALD WOULD BE WALTZING DOWN THE AISLE AGAIN.

BUT THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW. GLENNY HAS FALLEN -- OR AT LEAST TOSSED HIMSELF IN FRONT OF HIS MAN.

"HE'S A DOCTOR!' EXCLAIMED GLENNY. "DR. PHIL!"

AT LAST, TWO PEOPLE WHO DESERVE EACH OTHER. EACH IS A RACIST BLOWHARD AND AN EGO MANIAC.

GLENNETH EXPLAINS IT WAS "LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF. HE WALKED OVER TO ME WHILE I WAS ISSUING ANOTHER CALL FOR FREE SPEECH AND MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO YELL THE N-WORD AT BLACK CHILDREN! I SMELLED CRAP IN THE PANTS AND THOUGHT IT WAS MY OWN. BUT NO! IT WAS FROM THE BIG GUY. WE BONDED OVER LINGERING SMELLS THAT MAKE TOSS THE STOMACHS OF OTHERS BUT THAT MAGA SUBS LIKE US GOON OVER. DR. PHIL SMELLS LIKE A MAN AND LET'S ME PRETEND TO BE DAINTY AND PURE DESPITE ALL THE DINGLEBERRIES CAUGHT IN MY ASS HAIR."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

The Fourth Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, [. . .]" No warrants were issued. But our papers are no longer secure -- our papers is the information that the government has on us that Chump has turned over to Elon Musk.

This morning, David Ingram (NBC NEWS) reports:

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that he and President Donald Trump were in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent.

Musk, the head of Trump’s government efficiency initiative, announced the shutdown in the middle of the night in an audio-only appearance on his social media site X.

“We’re shutting it down,” he said. At another point, he said "we’re in the process” of “shutting down USAID.”

Musk did not say what legal authority he believed the White House has to shut down a federal agency without congressional approval, or how quickly the administration planned to act. He said the idea had “the full support of the president” and that he had spoken with Trump on the matter several times.

As we all know, Elon is a racist who was taught racism by his racist parents as he grew up in his country of birth South Africa. When apartheid finally began to collapse in South African, Elon ran like the coward he always has been. He couldn't handle the thought of living in South Africa if Black people had equality. The people of South Africa -- predominately Black but also some Whites -- fought to topple apartheid. One of the things that assisted with the toppling? USAID.

So this unelected foreigner is being given our personal data and he's being allowed to seek his revenge on the world. That's all his embrace and popularization of racism has been -- his trying to get back at the world for the end of apartheid in South Africa.

And too many fools got taken in and thought he was something to applaud and admire. Oh, let's build an episode of THE SIMPSONS around him! Oh, let's buy a car from him!

If any of those people had done the basic due diligence they would have known that he was nothing but vengeful piece of garbage bound and determined to stomp out any progress for people of color.

But, big surprise, big media did none of the work required and little media was too busy amusing itself to grasp what was coming.

Let's wind down. We've got two things from Senator Elizabeth Warren's office. First up:

Musk Repeatedly Attacked FAA Head after Agency Fined SpaceX

“[T]he fact that FAA has no Senate-confirmed Administrator in place to lead the response provides a concrete example of how your self-interest may not be consistent with the public interest.”

Text of Letter (PDF)

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sent a letter to Elon Musk, Administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), regarding his role in the resignation of the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Michael Whitaker, in the wake of the tragic plane crash in Washington, D.C.

“This resignation—which you called for after the FAA fined your company for safety issues —has left this critical agency without leadership while facing significant challenges, including the tragic midair crash of American Eagle Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter that killed 67 individuals—including at least six from Massachusetts —on the approach to Washington Reagan National Airport,” wrote Senator Warren.

Despite having a term set to run through 2028, Mr. Whitaker resigned from the agency on January 20, 2025, in the aftermath of a series of public attacks by Musk including calls for, “[Mr. Whitaker] … to resign.”

“You got what you wanted after President Trump was elected,” wrote Senator Warren.

Immediately after inauguration day, the Trump Administration took aim at the FAA and at airline safety, announcing a federal hiring freeze that included air traffic controllers, and disbanding the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee.

“It is not clear what direct or indirect role you played in any of these decisions, but at a moment of crisis, with 67 dead, the FAA is understaffed and was without a Senate-confirmed leader,” continued the senator. “[T]he fact that FAA has no Senate-confirmed Administrator in place to lead the response provides a concrete example of how your self-interest may not be consistent with the public interest.”

Senator Warren pushed Elon Musk for answers regarding his role in decisions made during the Trump transition or after January 20 about the FAA and airline safety, his current role in the Administration, and the ethics rules governing his actions.
