Elon Musk’s DOGE May Cut These Federal Agencies—As CFPB Becomes Latest Target Lindsey Choo
November 27, 2024 Forbes – Billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy—co-heads of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (or “DOGE”)—say they want to slash federal spending by $2 trillion, singling out a handful of federal agencies, now including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, for what’s likely to be a difficult gambit.
KEY FACTS
Pentagon: Ramaswamy has suggested the commission could look for cuts to the Defense Department’s budget, saying the agency has “nearly a trillion dollars of budget—they can’t even tell you where it goes,” as Ernst—who is leading a group of Republican senators called the “DOGE caucus”—claimed on X the agency “wastes $125 billion on bloated bureaucracy” (Musk’s SpaceX has a reported $3.6 billion in federal contracts with the Pentagon).
Department of Education: Trump has called for the dismantling of the department for several years, and the commission is doubling down as Ramaswamy said that he expects “mass reductions” and “certain agencies to be deleted outright,” he told Fox News in response to a question about the department.
Corporation for Public Broadcasting: Musk and Ramaswamy wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal this week, in which they said “$535 million a year” spent on the nonprofit overseeing broadcasting networks PBS and NPR was an example of “unauthorized” spending and money used in ways “that Congress never intended,” though the organization was created and authorized by Congress.
Planned Parenthood: They intend to cut “nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood,” they wrote in the Journal; Planned Parenthood receives about $50 million annually from the federal government.
International organizations: They also plan on taking aim at “$1.5 billion for grants to international organizations,” though it’s unclear which organizations they are referring to.
Internal Revenue Service: Musk is expected to take aim at the IRS, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal citing anonymous sources—he has reportedly been in discussions with the agency to create a free tax filing app, posts from both Musk and DOGE’s X accounts suggested simplifying the tax code, and Ernst suggested an audit of the agency.
Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission: While Musk and Ramaswamy have not directly addressed their plans for these agencies, Musk is reportedly expected to make cuts to them, the Wall Street Journal reported.
NASA: Musk and Ramaswamy have not identified specific cuts from NASA, but Congressional authorization for some funding to the agency are set to expire this year and Ernst has claimed that cuts could be made from the “more than $500 million” spent to give “bureaucrats and contractors unearned bonuses” at the agency. Forbes has reached out to NASA for comment.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: “There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies,” Musk wrote on X Wednesday, saying, “Delete CFPB,” an agency that Project 2025 also called to abolish and which was similarly a target in Trump’s first term.
How the 2020 Census ‘Errors’ Cost Republicans Nine Seats in Congress
NOV 27, 2024 @AMUSE – Imagine a game of poker where one player not only gets to deal the cards but also keeps one hand tucked behind their back, just in case. Welcome to the 2020 Census, where the dealer wasn’t interested in fairness, but in tilting the scales to one side. A mere error in the 2020 Census? Hardly. It was more like a carefully orchestrated scheme, veiled behind the mundane bureaucracy of data collection. The errors were so conveniently aligned with political biases that it defies the realm of mere incompetence. The Census Bureau, under the guise of neutral public service, crafted a masterpiece of distortion. The over-counts happened in the usual suspect states: Hawaii, New York, and Delaware—bastions of the Democratic machine. The undercounts? In places like Texas and Florida—states critical for Republican hopes. The civil service employees running the census, with their overwhelming support for Democratic campaigns (a stunning 90% of those who donated gave to Democrats), showed just where their loyalties lay.
The 2020 Census was not a solitary government effort. The Census Bureau collaborated with more than 55 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to count citizens and non-citizens alike. Almost all of these NGOs were left-leaning or aligned with Democratic interests. The Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP) played a significant role in mobilizing resources and support for the census. The FCCP’s Census Subgroup included well-known foundations such as the Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations, and the Carnegie Corporation of New York—entities often associated with George and Alex Soros and other Democrat-aligned activists. With the Census Bureau’s budget for the 2020 Census at approximately $15.6 billion, it becomes evident that a substantial portion of this funding flowed into Soros-affiliated NGOs, essentially channeling taxpayer dollars into the hands of those whose interests were clearly partisan.
Let’s talk numbers for a moment. The Post-Enumeration Survey discovered that Republican-leaning states were routinely undercounted: Tennessee undercounted by 4.78%, Florida by 3.48%, and Texas by 1.92%. Meanwhile, Democratic-leaning states like Delaware had a 5.45% over-count, New York by 3.44%, and Rhode Island by 5.05%. One can almost hear the paper-shuffling sighs of bureaucrats as they lamented that these couldn’t be fixed until 2030. But don’t be fooled by the feigned helplessness of the Census Bureau’s leadership. The excuses rang hollow. We’re expected to believe that these discrepancies—errors that conveniently padded Democratic influence in federal funding and Electoral College representation—are nothing more than a series of innocent blunders?
This matter isn’t just about the past; it’s about the structure of political power for the next decade. Apportionment—the allocation of House seats—and redistricting both hinge on the Census, as does the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding. States like New York and Minnesota, who managed to inflate their numbers, stand to rake in more than their share, while places like Florida and Texas get penalized for what is, quite plainly, the Bureau’s political loyalty to one side. Census figures show that Florida and Texas were close to gaining a new seat. Had the top overcounted states lost one seat each and undercounted ones gained one each, Democratic-voting states would have lost nine net seats in Congress and the same in the Electoral College. The prospect of nine votes in the Democratic column that would have otherwise been in GOP hands is no small matter—it’s a fundamental shift in the balance of political power that could have cost President Trump the 2024 election. And don’t let them tell you otherwise. Robert Santos, the Census Bureau Director, will soon be dragged before Congress to testify. Rep. James Comer and his colleagues are on to them—the House Oversight and Accountability Committee is finally asking the questions that Santos and his team would rather avoid. Were these errors—errors that, curiously, all seemed to benefit one political faction—a result of some over-zealousness on behalf of loyal civil servants who saw themselves not as public officials, but as defenders of their party’s power? Or perhaps it was an unspoken conspiracy, the kind of nod-and-wink arrangement bureaucrats of a particular bent get themselves into when they think no one’s paying attention.
The effects are staggering. Let’s not forget that Electoral College representation depends directly on population counts. The 2020 Census’s convenient over-counts have left some states with more representation than they should have and others with less, affecting presidential elections for the next decade. The Biden administration, unsurprisingly, has dismissed calls for adjustment, hiding behind the pretext of constitutional rigidity. But Congress must act. If apportionment counts continue to include non-citizens, the United States will face a demographic-political coup from within. The Equal Representation Act, which proposes including only U.S. citizens in the apportionment count, is a step in the right direction. This isn’t xenophobia; it is a matter of fairness—ensuring that those represented in Congress are the citizens who live, work, and abide by the laws of this country.
To be clear, this isn’t the Census Bureau’s first rodeo with errors. But the scale and the direction of the 2020 Census errors suggest something far more sinister than bureaucratic bungling. When errors all align in the same direction, benefiting one party over another, Occam’s razor tells us we’re not looking at mere accident—we’re looking at intent. And if not outright collusion, then at least an ideological bias so deeply entrenched that it colors every element of supposedly neutral data collection. It’s time to end this masquerade of ‘error’ and call it what it is: a subversion of the democratic process.
The Census Bureau—an agency under the Department of Commerce—should be a bastion of statistical precision. Instead, it has been tainted, twisted into a tool for advancing one side’s agenda. That has to change. The Trump administration’s incoming Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, has his work cut out for him. He must see through the rot in the Census Bureau and demand immediate, sweeping reforms. This means reshaping the leadership and rooting out the partisan bureaucrats whose allegiance lies with a political faction rather than the American people. It means reforming how census numbers are verified and ensuring that future counts are as accurate as possible—with robust checks against bias. This will require new methodologies, greater transparency, and a serious look at how to prevent such errors from occurring again.
The time for complacency has passed. The American people—particularly those of us who believe in fair, legal, and accurate processes—deserve better. We expect Howard Lutnick to lead the charge in restoring the Census Bureau to its original mission: counting, not playing kingmaker. And we expect Congress to do its part by passing the Equal Representation Act, safeguarding against the counting of those not eligible to vote in our democracy. President-elect Trump must also hold the line here—the Census is about representation, and representation must be earned, not handed out to whoever manages to cross the border.
The Census is more than numbers on a page—it is the foundation of our political process. When that foundation is corrupted, everything built upon it crumbles. It’s time we took back control of the Census Bureau, refocusing it on truth, accuracy, and fairness. Only then can we begin to rectify the decades of skewed political advantage engineered by those who prefer subterfuge over the democratic ideals they claim to champion. Howard Lutnick, you have our attention. The American people—those who still believe in this grand republic—are watching. Fix it.

NOV 27, 2024 – Elites engineering their 4th Industrial Revolution social credit score A.I. systems to determine which Genetically Modified Human (GMH) slaves are fit to live or qualify for recycling has finally arrived.
Well, not exactly just yet: fully operational X Everything App social credit score systems, subcutaneous and/or aerosolized nano technologies are required.
In the meantime, the transhumanist pillar of “granting” the GMH the “freedom” to suicide, more at sending the own-nothing-and-be-happy slaves off to the next life as a direct function of their algorithmic societal value parameters is today being crudely yet most effectively implemented in the WEF “penetrated” technocommunist nation of Canada.
Since last year, Canadian law, in all its majesty, has allowed both the rich as well as the poor to kill themselves if they are too poor to continue living with dignity. In fact, the ever-generous Canadian state will even pay for their deaths. What it will not do is spend money to allow them to live instead of killing themselves.
To the psychotic Canadian government anything and everything may be classified as an “illness,” not limited to poverty itself.
NOVEMBER 25, 2024 BLAZE NEWS – Trump may change the dynamics of the press room forever.
President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering shaking up even the media press room of the White House, according to his son Donald Trump Jr.
Trump Jr. told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles that he had discussed the possibility with his father and even floated some replacements like podcaster Joe Rogan.’I’
“I wonder now as your father is assembling his team, as maybe Karoline Leavitt is looking at the new press briefing room chart, maybe it’s time to reorder that chart, maybe take away some people’s seats,” Knowles said to Trump Jr.

“So we’re going to break some news here,” Trump Jr. replied, adding that Trump thought they might replace the mainstream media with people like Knowles or Rogan.
“I’d love to see Rogan in the White House press briefing, or even rotate guys out,” he added.
“We had the conversation about opening up the press room to a lot of these independent journalists,” Trump Jr. continued. “If the New York Times has lied, they’ve been adverse to everything, they’re functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party, why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships, stronger followings?”
Trump appeared on Rogan’s show just ahead of Election Day as part of his successful strategy to turn out the male vote to the ballot box. Vice President Kamala Harris was extended an invitation to appear on the incredibly popular podcast, but she refused. A campaign aide later said they were afraid of offending the far-left faction in the party that despised Rogan and his podcast.

Ezra Levant speaks with Fox News after shocking arrest while covering pro-Hamas protest [Videos]
Toronto police handcuffed Levant and forced him into the back of a cruiser after he attempted to peacefully document pro-Hamas protesters honouring the dead terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar.
NOVEMBER 25, 2024 REBEL NEWS
Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant joined Fox News host Dana Perino on ‘America’s Newsroom‘ Monday morning to discuss his arrest by Toronto police on Sunday while covering a pro-Hamas protest.
After simply trying to photograph a pro-Hamas demonstrator seemingly re-enacting the final moments of terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar, Levant was forced to move away from the area by police and ultimately arrested.
Pro-Hamas protesters have been demonstrating in the neighbourhood near Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue — also home to a large Jewish population — for months in an effort to counter weekly rallies in solidarity with Israel.
“It was a residential neighbourhood, so there’s no Israeli consulate or any political target there,” Levant explained. “They were going after Jews. So the Hamas activists came right in the heart of this residential neighbourhood, they actually set up some grotesque display sort of re-enacting Yahya Sinwar,” he said.
Speaking about his arrest, Levant said, “I wanted to take a photograph of it because I’m with a news outlet, I went there very low-key, didn’t actually talk to anyone, just went to take a picture.”
“The police came up to me and said, ‘you have to leave the public sidewalk now, you’re not allowed to be here, because these Hamas activists are disturbed by your presence,'” [Emphasis added] the Rebel News boss explained.
Levant was then arrested by authorities and taken to a local police station where he was held in a small cell for over an hour. The arrest has sparked increasing concerns regarding freedom of the press in Canada, as Rebel News journalist David Menzies was also shockingly arrested while practicing journalism at the same location just weeks ago.

Putin says Moscow ‘has right’ to hit states whose weapons Ukraine uses to strike Russia [VIDEOS]
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised message Thursday that Moscow has the right to strike the military targets of countries who have supplied weapons to Ukraine to hit Russia. Putin’s statements came after Russia launched a new intermediate-range missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in response to Kyiv’s long-range missile attacks earlier this week.
21/11/2024 @ 21:53 FRANCE 24 – Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Thursday that Moscow has tested a new intermediate-range missile in a strike on Ukraine, and he warned that it could use the weapon against countries that have allowed Kyiv to use their missiles to strike Russia.
The Russian strike on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday came in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil this week that used longer-range US and British missiles, Putin said during a nationwide TV address.
Following Putin’s nationwide address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for a strong response from world leaders to Russia’s use of a new generation hypersonic missile, saying it was a major step up in the “scale and brutality” of the war.
“The world must react. Right now there is no strong reaction from the world,” Zelensky said in a statement published on Telegram, adding: “This is an obvious and serious increase in the scale and brutality of this war.”
Putin declared that Russia would issue advance warnings if it launches more strikes with such missile against Ukraine to allow civilians to evacuate to safety. And he warned that US air defense systems wouldn’t be capable of intercepting Russian missiles.

Ayelet Shaked refused entry to Australia Hezki Baruch
Former Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked refused visa to enter Australia, over her opposition to a Palestinian state. ‘An antisemitic decision and a black day for Australian democracy.’
Nov 21, 2024, 3:12 PM (GMT+2) Israel National News – Australia’s Labor government on Thursday refused former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked an entry visa.
The reason given for the refusal is Shaked’s opposition to the creation of a Palestinian state. In a response to her request for a visa, Shaked was informed that her entry may hurt the feelings of a different group in the country.
Shaked had been scheduled to attend an AIJAC conference between Israel and Australia.
“The decision by Australia’s government to prevent my entry into its territory for the purpose of participating in a strategic dialogue between the countries is clear testimony to its hypocrisy and its hostile attitude towards Israel. [It is] a government which claims to be democratic but acts to silence voices which oppose its extremist pro-Palestinian agenda,” she said.
Shaked added, “Refusing entry to me, a former minister in the Israeli government, only because of my opposition to the creation of a Palestinian terror state, reveals the true face of the current Australian government: [It is] a government which chose to stand alongside Israel’s enemies and harm the historic relationship between the countries.
“This is an antisemitic decision and a black day for Australian democracy,” she concluded.
“The issue here is not that I didn’t get a visa,” Shaked wrote on X. “The issue here is that the current Australian government has become anti-Semitic.”

UNRWA Chiefs Secretly Met Top Terrorists, Telling Them: “WE ARE UNITED, NO ONE CAN SEPARATE US!” By Pamela Geller
November 21, 2024 – Think of it. All the rivers of blood and endless treasure expended on fighting the jihad scourge from 9/11 (Pat Tillman is throwing up in his grave) to the present day – only to submit to the most retrograde force in the world – obedient dog to these savages.
And this is what Israel is fighting. Alone. Trump can’t get in fast enough. The US built these organizations. They can shut them down.
UNRWA chief told Hamas and Islamic Jihad: “We are united and no one can separate us”
November 21, 2024 UN Watch – As part of several documents released today from a larger trove exposing UNRWA’s widespread complicity with terrorists, UN Watch has revealed that UNRWA’s previous head Pierre Krahenbuhl met repeatedly with leaders of Palestinian terrorist organizations, including one meeting where he called for their covert partnership and unity. The practice has continued under UNRWA’s current commissioner Philippe Lazzarini.
At a gathering in Beirut in February 2017, Krahenbuhl met with the Hamas chief of foreign relations, Ali Baraka, who was recently indicted by the U.S. government for “heinous crimes.” Baraka managed Hamas ties with Tehran and other regimes including Syria and Iraq. Days after the Hamas massacre of October 7th, Baraka claimed that the group had been planning the attack for two years, and he revealed the existence since 2021 of a Palestinian Joint Operations Room among the various factions. “We made them think that Hamas was busy with governing Gaza, and that it wanted to focus on the 2.5 million Palestinians there, and has abandoned the resistance altogether. All the while, under the table, Hamas was preparing for this big attack,” said Baraka.
The head of UNRWA at the same gathering also met with Abu Imad al-Rifai, the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Lebanon, who boasted about sending a wave of suicide bombers to Baghdad in 2003 to kill American and British troops.
At the meeting, UNRWA’s Krahenbuhl emphasized the “spirit of partnership” between the terrorist groups and UNRWA. He invited them to privately challenge any UNRWA decision, which he could then change or “tear up,” while also urging that their “discussions not be made public.”
If their meetings were to be publicized, said Krahenbuhl, who now heads the International Red Cross, that “could challenge our credibility” — and “lead to a loss of trust between donor countries and UNRWA, which might result in reduced or even terminated funding.”

New York judge grants Trump request to file motion to dismiss charges, cancels sentencing indefinitely By Brooke Singman
Trump spokesman labels ruling as a ‘decisive win’ for president-elect
November 22, 2024 10:47am EST Fox News – Judge Juan Merchan on Friday granted President-elect Donald Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the charges in New York v. Trump and removed the sentencing date for the president-elect from the schedule.
Merchan said Trump attorneys have until Dec. 2 to file their motion for dismissal. Merchan said Bragg has until Dec. 9 to respond.
Merchan also confirmed the stay in sentencing for Trump, which was requested by both Trump’s and Bragg’s attorneys. The sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 26, but on Friday, Merchan said that date “is adjourned.”
Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung reacted to Merchan’s ruling Friday, telling Fox News Digital it is a “decisive win” for the president.
“In a decisive win for President Trump, the hoax Manhattan Case is now fully stayed and sentencing is adjourned,” Cheung told Fox News Digital. “President Trump won a landslide victory as the American People have issued a mandate to return him to office and dispose of all remnants of the Witch Hunt cases.”
Cheung added, “All of the sham lawfare attacks against President Trump are now destroyed and we are focused on Making America Great Again.”
In a letter to Merchan on Wednesday, Trump defense attorney and now-nominee for Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche demanded the case against Trump be tossed.
“On November 5, 2024, the Nation’s People issued a mandate that supersedes the political motivations of DANY’s ‘People,’” Blanche wrote. “This case must be immediately dismissed.”
Blanche said that “immediate dismissal of this case is mandated by the federal Constitution, the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, and the interests of justice, in order to facilitate the orderly transition of Executive power following President Trump’s overwhelming victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
