taxpayer, reconciliation, Sneaky, Congress, Fight, money, government, Rake, unions0 comment

While public-sector unions file lawsuits to block President Donald Trump’s reforms to the bureaucracy, federal government workers are getting paid by the taxpayer for time they spend doing work for those very same unions. The little-known practice of “official time” allows bureaucrats to bill the taxpayer for hours they spend doing work for the union. Members of Congress have filed bills to ban the practice, but a budget expert suggests that taxing the practice instead might pose a smaller hurdle for getting it through Congress. While most bills face a…

PERVERSE: Your Tax Dollars Must Continue Funding Experimental Transgender ‘Treatments,’ Judges Rule

Experimental, PERVERSE, ‘Treatments’, must, Continue, funding, rule, judges, Transgender, Dollar's0 comment

Did you know that your tax dollars have been funding experimental “transgender” medical interventions that leave kids stunted, scarred, and infertile? Did you know that when President Donald Trump tried to put a stop to it, activist groups and Democrat attorneys general sued, and judges ordered the administration to keep funding these Frankensteinian “treatments”? It’s hard to overstate just how egregious a medical scandal this is. Activists use the gaslighting term “gender-affirming care” to hide the ugly truth. In the name of medicine, doctors are altering the chemistry of boys…

Trump, consumer, 'Rogue, Financial, Bureau, must, right, protection0 comment

Almost immediately after the Senate named Russ Vought Office of Management and Budget director, President Donald Trump also named him the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a rogue agency with a long history of overreach and corruption. The agency has seen rampant internal racism and anti-woman bias, according to the General Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau hurts consumers by slapping unnecessary fines and regulations on lenders, making it harder for them to lend and…

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I want to talk today about the controversy over diversity, equity, and inclusion, but in a little different strain. I want to compare it with affirmative action. Affirmative action was created during the civil rights era, 1964 and ’65, and then, now, it has been with us almost 60 years. But…

The legacy media’s new freak-out—after they got finished with the “Elon Musk makes Nazi salutes” cycle—is that the new administration is bringing in too many young people. Yes, really. That’s their strategy to take President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Musk down a peg. Here’s an example of what lefties in the media are freaking out about on social media right now. Musk’s commando staff includes guys who are 21, 23, 24 and 25. One is *19* years old. His job title is “Expert.” When you were 19, what were…
