Quick Takes from the Past 24-48 Hours

The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):

1. $375 Billion EPA Slush Fund Handled by Leftist Fixer John Podesta Gave Billions to Newly Founded Charities

The largest nonprofit grant in history. John ‘pizza’ Podesta was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager who worked in Barack Obama’s White House. He was also Joe Biden’s Senior Advisor.

The Post has discovered:

The Obiden Regime funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded.

In one case, former VP What’s-Her-Name handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.

The non-profit fund had only been incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, according to public records, five months before being handed over the cash in April 2024.

Climate groups received a windfall $20 billion from the EPA in the final weeks of The Regime with little oversight.

The Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in a press release, noting the group’s work “delivers benefits like cleaner air…and increased energy security.”’

However, because the company is so new, there is no publicly published accounting of how it plans to spend the $7 billion.

Projects have been announced including a $10.8 million “pre-development loan” solar project on Tribal lands in eastern Oregon and Idaho and a $32m solar energy project at the University of Arkansas, but they represent only a drop in the bucket of the grant’s amount.

2. President Trump to Issue Executive Order to Abolish Dept. of Education

Abolishing the Department of Education has been a key promise the president made on the campaign trail.

A draft of the order reads:

The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families.

DOGE recently announced they had uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in wasteful spending at the DOE.

Of that $881 million, DOGE identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators:

[To] help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis.

Many of our beloved country’s taxpayer-funded classrooms have become indoctrination centers for anti-American ideology. Many teachers are radicalizing children. This is the engine driving the dangerous ideological change in this country.

Trump said at a September rally in Wisconsin:

We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing.

Thank you, Mr. President.

3. Elon Musk Gave Perfect Response When Asked about Leftist Rebuttalist Elissa Slotkin 

Crime syndicate representative Elissa Slotkin gave the rebuttal to President Trump‘s speech Tuesday night. She was trying to convince We the People the radical Left care about American exceptionalism but Donald Trump does not.

 

The former CIA operative also smeared Elon and his DOGE team who are cutting the outrageous government waste which The Regime’s four years ran off the rails.

And here is a sample of the waste the Left is proud of funding:

4. Trump: I Will Change Biden’s ‘Massive Trade Deficit’

The all-time high trade deficit of $131.4 billion in January 2025 was 34% greater than the $98.1 billion deficit in December 2024.

The percentage change in the deficit announced by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis was the largest since March 2015, which was the Kenyan’s doing.

During his speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, President Trump said Americans will benefit from the tariffs long term.

The President vowed to end the “massive trade deficit” that grew to record numbers under The Obiden Regime.

5. Scott Jennings: Elon Musk and DOGE Must Hold Congressional Hearings on Waste and Fraud

DOGE is uncovering wasteful government spending of which We the People are recurringly made aware.

Scott Jennings was on CNN recently advocating for Congressional hearings.

Here is the full exchange. (WATCH)

 

Finding out the government was spending millions to study transgender mice was quite shocking Tuesday night. One poster wished President Trump could have read more examples of the fraud.

Hearings would force bleeding-heart embezzling liberals to defend these expenditures before the nation. Eye-opening, yes, and imagine the entertainment value! Arrests could be made on the spot.

6. The Schiffster Should BUCKLE UP and Seek Legal Counsel—Life for Him Is About to Get REAL (Watch)

With both Kash Patel and Dan Bongino in place at the FBI, We the People can imagine Adam Schiff would have already left the country or at least ceased incriminating himself.

 The guy continues poking the hornet’s nest with a stick:

 

Recall, the Schiffster was so desperate to get naked pictures of Donald Trump that two Russian trolls conned him.

And what about Schiff’s Ukraine connections?

 

 

7. VP Vance at the Border: Trump ‘Doing a Huge Favor’ for Mexico Battling Drug Cartels

Speaking with reporters on how Mexico can eventually lift Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on all imported goods, the vice president said the country must take border security seriously.

Vice President Vance explained:

[What] the president has said is we need sustained commitment from the government of Mexico to take the job of border security seriously.

Fentanyl is the single largest cause of death among young Americans, and we know that a substantial portion of … the precursors are made in China. They come to Mexico. They’re manufactured in Mexico and brought across the border by the Mexican drug cartels.

Vance said the Trump administration wants to see fewer Americans dying of fentanyl overdoses and will “apply as much leverage as possible to the Mexican government.”

He concluded:

The president obviously cares deeply about the American people.

He serves the American people first. I actually think he’s doing a huge favor to the people of Mexico, because if they don’t get control of these cartels, the people of Mexico are going to wake up in a narco-state where the cartels have more power than their own government.

8. Lost in Space: Stranded Astronaut Confirms Musk Claim That Biden Rejected Help for Political Reasons

The two American astronauts were stranded on the International Space Station when the Boeing Starliner craft, which took them into orbit, experienced what NASA described as “multiple issues” and was returned to Earth empty—that was in June 2024, over nine months ago.

On Tuesday, one of the astronauts said that Musk’s accusation was absolutely true.

Assuming Musk’s accusation is true—and it sounds authentic after what we saw through four long years of the craven Obiden Regime—this is yet another indication that Joe cared about his political life above anything else—including, as reported, his own family.
