There are approximately 2.2 million federal civilian employees. The average cost of a federal employee, including salary and benefits, is around
$143,643. How much money is that in salaries and benefits every year?
$316,014,600,000.

I've told this story before, but I think it's worth repeating. Some years ago my friend Jay Lehr, who attended Princeton and met Einstein, said when Einstein first came to Princeton he gave seven lectures. He said the first few were so packed you couldn't beg, steal, borrow, or buy a seat. By the end of the series there were a lot of empty seats. I was surprised and I asked him why. He said Einstein was lecturing some of the smartest people in the world, and they didn't have a clue what he was talking about. You can only image how that effected their egos. They didn't dare suggest Einstein didn't know what he was talking about since he was considered the most brilliant man alive.
Well, I will be the first to acknowledge I'm far more clueless about physics than those sitting in that lecture hall. But by just watching from the back row there's one thing I've gleaned. Much about physics is based on a lot of "maybes". Maybes that can't be proven via the scientific method of observation, experimentation, and analysis. They can observe, and they can analyze, but how do they experiment? Take black holes for example, how do you experiment with a black hole? Now, all of a sudden everything they "knew" about black hole astronomy might be wrong. As I see it, it's all guess work, and they don't have a clue either, yet they're absolutely positive ..... again.
Truth be told I find it all interesting and fascinating, and I always have, but in the final analysis, I really don't care. I consider this to be academic welfare, like so much of what academia does, much of which should not be funded by the government since there's not one iota of practical value in so much of what they do. If that makes me a neanderthal, I can live with it.
Fani Willis, of FaniGate fame, the Georgia prosecutor who played the bully role in her attempt to "get Trump" is now crying that Jim Jordan is bullying her. Imagine that, and doing so in violation of his oath of office. What? Investigating a known corrupt prosecutor is a violation of his oath? Really? Why? Because it's black history month, and he should be celebrating that instead of "bullying" her! It seems her deck of race cards has no limit.
The FBI is heading into a maelstrom from which many will not return. If this true, and I'm betting it is, the "new" FBI has launched an investigation into James Comey, and it's being reported the FBI is destroying evidence including the files on the JFK assassination.
This is the crack national law enforcement agency that raided the home of a mom of four children, who protested at a school board meeting resulting in an invasion of her home by a FBI SWAT team, knocking down her door, bursting into the house with guns and handcuffing her while she was homeschooling her children.
The FBI is broken, and it's not just a matter of bad leadership; it's the system itself. And guess what? A lot of these miscreants are worried they're going to be thrown in jail, and they have good reason to be worried. Remember.... no one is above the law. Their only recourse? Destroy the evidence!
I really like being right, and this is one time I wished I wasn't. The covid shots were not vaccines, not only did they not prevent infections, they weren't designed to do so, and that was right from the mouth of Deborah Birx, who designed their vaccination policy. A person who needs to be charged with crimes against humanity, or at the very least depraved indifference, right along with Fauci. Only Fauci has been given a pardon, Brix hasn't. Fauci isn't immune to non-federal criminal charges, or civil actions against him.

;We're seeing a lot of kickback from Democrats over DOGE and all they're exposing, and there's a reason why. Here's one example, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse Backed Legislation That Funneled Millions to His Wife’s Nonprofit. They're in on the take, and feeding at the government's trough is addictive. And ya just gotta love pencil neck Schiff. He knows there are millions of Americans who are downright ashamed of Trump. And he's right, they're called nitwits, halfwits, dipsticks, and misfits, all of which are Democrats and RINO's. And we should care why?
Think about this. Someone recently pointed out: "There are 18 intelligence agencies, and somehow they had no idea that Hamas was going to attack Israel or that Syria was going to collapse. What were they doing? I would say that is a lot of duplicative waste." Well, it appears we now know a lot about what some of them were doing. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fires 100 perverts spewing out their drooling on government computers and time.
And this is at the nation's most top secret agency, the NSA, involving the CIA and others. The questions that now need answering is how did this happen, who in leadership knew about this, when did they know it and is it likely to happen again? Since all these people are being fired, I think I can say, not in the near future, and now, not in the military.
As for how this happened, and it happened like a things from the left, "a slow march through the institutions", as this article There’s a Trans Cult Inside the NSA, by Christopher F. Rufo
An insider tells the story of the intel agency’s ideological capture..........But according to our whistleblower, these sex chats were just the
tip of the iceberg. This longtime NSA insider tells me that the
ideological capture of the NSA began a decade ago. Trans activists have
entrenched themselves in positions of power, pressured employees to
undergo reeducation trainings, and compromised national security in the
name of ideology........
It's clear this is deeply entrenched, and it's also clear that many of those who will be thrown out of these top secret agencies may well decide to commit treason in order to get back at those who fire them. It truly is an "iceberg" problem.
Trump has made it clear any state that doesn't end transgenderism in sports will have their funds cut off, and Maine has made it clear, they don't' care. They're even going to punish a GOP Congressman for opposing transgenderism, and they've even attacked a female state Senator for challenging Maine's actions claiming she's done "irreparably breaking the public trust." The left's capability to use more words in more twisted ways is mind boggling.
As a side bar...did you get a look at their governor? How does someone that dumb, that strange, and that ugly get elected? There's just gotta be something in the water in Maine.

Another favorite of mine is that great intellectual and moral giant,Michael Moore, with his latest rant filled with logical fallacies claiming one of these deported illegal migrant children might have cured cancer, or stopped an asteroid from hitting the planet. But then again, maybe they wouldn't. But if he can show us which ones would be able to do that, we'll keep them.
In the meanwhile they're criminals because they're here illegally, eating up American's tax money, overwhelming our public services, committing a lot of crimes, forming criminal organizations, and even creating groups to overthrow the United States, much of which Joe Biden can take "credit". Other than Michael Moore and his ilk, all suffering from mental delusions, the rest of this call this blame, not credit.
Finally, I was a surprised that all of a sudden DOGE, and the President, want Fort Knox audited. I thought... really... what's that all about? There were two show audits in 1953 and 1974, but there's never been a real audit of the gold supply...ever. And there's some kickback over this, why?
What really triggered this? I'm guessing of course, but I'm kinda getting the feeling something unexpected has turned up in one of the DOGE investigations, and I think there's something going on in the background they're not divulging, and it shook them. But, we'll see.
This week I've posted eight commentaries of my own, and twenty one by others. I hope you find them worthy of your time.
Best wishes,
Rich
