Seeing more descriptions of USAID slush money coming out -- $$ to Soros' "Tides Foundation" and related Leftist groups, $$ to Establishment Media like Politico, CNN, etc. and even the BBC.

Crazy!

Stopping the cash flow to the 501c3 world is going to change a lot of things very rapidly. It will stop a lot of sources of research that feed political discussion. It will dry up the well needed to feed lawsuits. It will force a lot of people who would otherwise be paid to exercise influence in politics on the street. We don't know yet what the consequences are- but we do know that they will happen, and quickly. I don't think most people realize how dependent the NGO world is on Federal cash.

Brown Medical School Gives DEI More Weight Than ‘Clinical Skills' in Promotion Criteria for Faculty

University Hall at Brown University (Kenneth C. Zirkel/Wikimedia Commons)

February 4, 2025
Brown University Medical School now gives "diversity, equity, and inclusion" more weight than "excellent clinical skills" in its promotion criteria for faculty, raising questions about the quality of teaching and patient care at the elite medical school and underscoring how deeply DEI has penetrated medical education.

The criteria, which are posted on Brown's website and have not been previously reported, list a "demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion" as a "major criterion" for all positions within the Department of Medicine, which oversees the bulk of the school's clinical units. Clinical skills, by contrast, only count as a "minor criterion" for many roles.

Doctors who reviewed the criteria were alarmed, saying they reflect an unusually frank admission that merit is taking a back seat to DEI.
"This is as stark as it gets," said Bob Cirincione, an orthopedic surgeon in Hagerstown, Maryland. The criteria "say what DEI in medical schools is all about. And it's not about clinical performance."
Hector Chapa, a clinical professor at Texas A&M College of Medicine, said it was "difficult to comprehend" why clinical skills get less weight than DEI. "That is heartbreaking," Chapa told the Washington Free Beacon. "Clinical skills are of paramount importance and should be considered major criteria for any promotion."
The criteria, which were last updated in 2023, indicate that DEI gets more weight than clinical skills for positions focused on research and classroom teaching. It gets the same weight as "patient care" for doctors who train students in clinical settings.
A university spokesman, Brian Clark, declined to comment on the criteria but noted that they apply only to the Department of Medicine—whose 11 divisions include cardiology, oncology, and primary care—not to the medical school as a whole.
Other departments, though, have implemented similar practices. Brown's psychiatry program says that faculty will not be promoted unless they "demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion," which can be done by participating in "antiracism reading groups," while the Department of Molecular Biology has instituted its own DEI requirements for promotions, according to a 2024 report by Brown's diversity office."

USAID had tried recruiting me 3 times after I had ETS'd '90-'91. USAID was started by JFK to stem the USSR's influence over other countries. Many 3d World … That the Russians wanted to turn Commie, etc.

Primarily USAID was to provide food, clothing, shelter, medical support, ship farming and construction equipment, etc., etc. But that was decades ago, the list of Woke progressive, DEI, LGBTQ+, Green agenda, sending $ it left wing media, etc. was US taxpayers' $. USD USD. That was never any things that USAID was intended to do. It has been going on for many decades. With NOT oversight, accountability, etc. Reports are about 98% of USAID are Dems. Which would not be a problem, if they did NOT politized their actions in the name of a party, woke, etc., etc.

The billions being spent on nations that has 0 to do with food, clothing, shelter, etc. While places in the USA, e.g. Maui, CA, the Carolinas, East Palestine, OH, etc. have Americans suffering.

The same is occurring with all the millions+ that go to caring for illegal aliens. While some Americans are suffering from natural disasters, etc. Again the last Admin had had no idea how to prioritize so many things in its care … Well, was almost criminal, etc.

Whenever I start to fill sympathy for those who are on the receiving end of DOGE's attention, I remember my own encounters with cancel culture and the $84 USDk they cost me, and I think "LET IT BURN."

Wow! USAID funded the foreign source who alleged Trump wrongdoings leading to the 2019 impeachment.

Shellenberger: USAID Paid for Trump Impeachment Effort

…"The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a CIA analyst who was first brought into the White House by the Obama administration," Shellenberger said in the interview.

"Reporting by Drop Site News last year revealed that the CIA analyst relied on reporting by a supposedly independent investigative news organization called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, which appears to have effectively operated as an arm of the United States Agency for International Development, which President Trump has just shut down. The CIA whistleblower complaint cited a long report by OCCRP four times."

Dog tail, if you think what's happening is a coup, you clearly don't understand the way the American republic works- or what a coup is. This administration is legally elected, which means it's supposed to be in charge of the executive apparatus.

Your definition of a "coup" makes sense only if you think the bureaucracy really is the government, and that elections are just for show. Being German, I can see how you could take that position- after all, the Hans Globkes of the world worked as effectively for the Fuhrer as they did for the Bundeskanzeller, no?

The only thing I have in common with Donald Trump is our enemies.

This a reply to that "glitch in the matrix" post, because the forum's glitching a bit.

I am sure by the time this is all over, the data of US citizen is free accessable for big tech companies, the differentation between government and big tech companies will be very difficult, the media will be in favor of what the government does, US food will be even more unhealthy. Workers rights and protection of the envirement will be of little concern.
Taxes will be high for medium income, low for high income, minuscule for extremly rich
Drugs will find different paths, abortion will take place at different locations, education will get away from science and more into religion.

There will always be reports about crimes by illegal immigrants, there will always be reports about threats to the US.

Only the price of eggs I do not dare to predict.

No Dogtail, not personal. Your comments here and in the past, have a very socialist perspective. "Workers rights" 😉

Also although you have said in the past that you have no TV nor read certain media, your accusations against Trump and the US, could have come direct from certain of our MSM or prominent Democrats in the US.

Lastly, if you are looking for a coup, look no further than the Democrats rising against Biden and replacing him with Harris. Completely out of the US elections process.

Always remember that the left always accuses you of doing what they are doing, or plan on doing themselves. They always assume that the opposition is doing the same.

@nine pound round: imho Trump uses a loophole by governing by degcrees and not through the congress. Yes he was elected, but that does not mean that everything he does is lawful. So I guess there will be a long period of legal fights, but my trust in the Supreme Court is small.

I always thought that the Government of Federal Republic of Germany is kind of copied from the US, except we donīt have a king like president , so I should know

@35thOVI: should I have used "labour rights"?
It gets a little tiring, there is more in the world than 2 sides to a coin. You donīt have to be a marxist if you disagree with the republicans.

Trump has been in office a little over 3 weeks. 3 days after the shook of his election had passed, the left in this country went into unhinged mode. The same in Europe. Already a call for impeachment for gods sake. 🙄

This is the same methodology used by them in his first term. This time though, he has his own people and he is not listening to them.

Europe and most of the world were more than happy to have a weak administration between 2020 and 2024. One who did pretty much what they wanted and gave them a free hand. Even being led by a man who was not in command of his facilities (even though he had the nuclear box). Actually no one knew who was leading the US.

Trump is an animal they can't control nor understand. He is not a deep stater, one world order leader, and he can't be bought.

I compare it to a sports team where the players ran the team, who had a weak willed coach, who tried to be everyone's friend. Then they get a no holds barred coach who holds them accountable and tosses those who don't want to play in the new style, even the star players. Of course they don't like it.

The job of the leader of a country is to look to his or hers country's benefit first.

So far, none of the doom and gloom with the things he has done or said, prophesied by the media and politicians to happen, has not come to fruition. But that does not, nor will not stop them.

Their motto remains the same:

When in trouble and in doubt, run in circles scream and shout! 😂

Well, after four years of rising prices, abuse of government power, and naked corruption, a plurality of the American people decided to give Donald Trump one more chance- and the fact that the Democrats managed to make him look like the more appealing candidate says a lot about how frustrated people have gotten.

Spare us the Euro-condescension; it doesn't take a detailed review of the history of the Twentieth Century for anyone to know that Germans of all people ought to show a little humility before lecturing others on domestic politics.

What you've just told me, Dogtail, is that you really don't know much about the American system at all- and not just because you've referred to "ruling by decree," which may have been a provision of the Weimar constitution, but is not an accurate description of what's happening here. Trump is not Hindenburg. Our Constitution has no Paragraph 48.

The German and American systems differ in important ways. For a start, our legislature and executive are completely separate, and the President is not a member of either the Senate or the House, and he's not required to hold a majority in either (although he has it, albeit narrowly). His Cabinet is not a collection of legislative colleagues; they answer directly to him, and nobody else (although the work they do is funded by Congressional appropriations and they themselves can be summoned by Congress to hearings, and must be confirmed by it in the first place). I don't pay much attention to the German parliament, but I do follow British and Canadian politics to some extent, and the dynamics of those system (which have common elements with the German system, as I've noted) don't work in similar ways to the American system.

Can he do what he's doing? Technically, I'm not certain, and I spent two decades in DC. I do know that Congress has delegated enormous amounts of power to the executive over the past three decades, so some things I would expect would ordinarily have required legislation are now left to the President's discretion- including the ability to set tariffs. Barack Obama had no problem telling a Republican Congress that he could rule with a pen and a telephone; now we're going to see how Donald Trump does it.

My lawyer likes to say, "everyone is guilty of three felonies," which is a statement on how elaborate and incomprehensible the US Code has become. I have no doubt that someone, somewhere, will be able to point to something Trump has done, and say, "IT'S ILLEGAL."

What I have learned over the past three weeks, however, strongly suggests to me that the Federal bureaucracy has been spending money to deliberately destabilize foreign governments, often without so much as a pretense of public debate, and that it has funded contracts that were clearly designed to undertake "influence operations" in the United States. If there's behavior that resembles a coup here, it was coming from within the executive branch, and Trump just put an end to it. We read Richard Nixon out of public life and imprisoned most of his closest aides for far less than that.

The bottom line is, whatever the technicalities of it, Trump is ripping away the veil of secrecy that has covered these operations, and is dragging them into the light. There was a time when the left regarded "sunshine" and "transparency" as important public values- but you can tell from the force of their reaction that they now value something very different. Trump made it clear that he was going to do this, and people voted for him on that account; if you believe that's a "coup," then you'll probably believe just about anything.

Nine +1

Executive orders, used heavily in Biden's first weeks to undo as much of what Trump did as possible and propagate DEI throughout the land, are becoming more and more common.

FDR was the king at 2023, although I've read elsewhere over 3000. If you ever want to see a President that over stepped his bounds, take the time to really study his 3 terms (why they can only serve 2 now). Fortunately he died in office.

Oh, and while I'm at it- Dogtail, a lot of Americans find it particularly obnoxious when a German lectures us on something, and claims they feel a special duty to do it "because I'm a German." To us, that just looks like another version of that obnoxious sense of superiority that forced us to spend two wars taking the old Fatherland down a couple of pegs. This time, however, it's particularly offensive, because you're claiming special authority on the grounds of a history most people would be ashamed of. When I advised you to show humility, claiming a special right to tell me how I should vote on the ground that your grandparents' generation perpetrated the Holocaust wasn't what I meant.

@Nine pound round: so you tell me that I donīt know enough about the differences in seperation of powers between German and US, then you tell me that you know that Canadian and British systems donīt work like the US system, but you don`t know much what is going on in the German parlament.

AfaIk the British system is totally different (House of Lords? ?) I am not informed about Canada, but a Westminster-style parliamentary democracy seems to have its roots rather in British than in German history.

So how can you compare if you donīt know and tell me that I donīt know?

I donīt intend to lecture you, as you donīt pay me. I do believe that Germans tend to pay attention when a democracy turns into something more leader-orientated, but I do not see where I claimed a "special authority". And I donīt see why I should not express my opinion because the holocaust happened.
I simply donīt get it, the right Freedom of Speech is not connected to the history of the nation of the speaker, or is it in your view?

That's intellectually dishonest, Dogtail- I didn't tell you to shut up, I told you you were wrong on the facts, and you ought to show humility. And you did claim authority "especially as a German." I don't buy it.

"Europe is still in massive denial at what is about to hit. It likes to think it can change Trump's mind. Friedrich Merz, Germany's opposition leader, and the man predicted to be the next chancellor, thinks he can negotiate a trade deal with Trump. The Irish hope that they can stay below Trump's radar since he could destroy the Irish economic model at the flick of a switch by removing a simple tax loophole on intellectual property rights for US companies that manufacture in Ireland. Meanwhile, Ursula von der Leyen, the EU Commission president, hopes to appease the President with a promise to buy more gas from the US. This is not how it will work. Trump will impose the tariffs. And that will be that.

Trump has learned from his past mistakes when dealing with the Europeans. They lied to him during his first term, and made promises they did not honour, including assurances that they would meet the Nato defence spending target of 2% of economic output. Back then, the Europeans had convinced themselves that Trump was just a phase, a fluke caused by a lopsided electoral system. Emboldened by their successful defiance of Trump back then, the Europeans concluded they could do it again.

I think they are wrong. Once they realise this, they will move to the second stage of grief — anger — where they will be stuck for a long time. They will try to retaliate, lose, and get even angrier.

There are parallels with the European approach to the war in Ukraine. Even as they support Ukraine, they don't have an agreed war goal, let alone a strategy. They treat the conflict as a morality play. Underestimating Vladimir Putin and the resilience of the Russian economy, they overestimated the power of sanctions.

This complacency has, over the past years, become the defining character trait of the centrist European liberal, matched only by an unshakeable belief in their own virtue. And today, they are similarly underestimating Trump. They remind me of the Bourbons, they have learned nothing and forget nothing."

"Complacency…..matched only by an unshakeable belief in their own virtue" pretty much nails it- as a quick trawl through this or a lot of other TMP threads will immediately demonstrate.

Yes, some crazy things are coming to light, and while most of this is a drop in the fiscal budget, the culture of unnecessary spending is being exposed. But I think it will bear watching to seen what is not coming to light with the Miller/Musk team. Reform is a shift in power and influence. Remember Project 25, the plan no one ever heard of?

Isn't funny how a few million here and there, or even a billion, is looked at as a drop in the bucket in today's world? Not being sarcastic. Just pointing out how sad that is. That in a nutshell, is the problem with today's politicians, most have no concept of money. After all it's not their money and they are wealthy enough to not feel the impacts of their rampant spending.

I dunno, 35th – seems kinda penny ante to me, given that the Fartmeister told me on the cartel/Texas border thread that people like me who don't buy into the Trump line completely "will be the first against the wall." Which presumably means I'm going to be shot.

So having a hard time feeling sympathy, what with my own predicament and all.

Relative to the big items, these amounts are small, 35th.They are not small to us and any work on this is a good start. But things like Medicare fraud are much bigger amounts.

The extent to which this whole spending culture can be changed is not certain yet. We will know more as time goes on. Can they really do it? And they seem to have personal motives for gaming the system themselves, Musk for example. There are too many conflicts of interest in every government we have elected. And too many influencers hanging around. Corruption going back to day one. We need to give this more time, but I fear it could end up more window dressing than reform. We will see.

The ACW 2.0 is no. Dems and their supporters have not changed their stripes. Or most likely ever will …

The footage of the Dems, supporters, etc. ranting and raving again shows how out of touch they are with the Heartland. The majority of Americas. Not the wealthy, woke, progressive, coastal elite minority.

The Dems have nothing in their party and no depth on their bench that could really fix many of the problems that many of their initiatives, actions, programs, agendas, etc. they started. And as we see most in the US don't support most if not all of them.

If anyone thinks anyone in the Dem party could do a better job than what is happening now in only 3-4 weeks in the WH. Must be reading a different book than I and many others.

If compared to how the last POTUS, VP, Admin, Dems, etc. turned the USA into some sort of woke, progressive, DEI/CRT, fringe subjects, etc. Actually boggles my mind. 😵🥴🤯

Their priorities and understanding of the reality of what is actually occurring in the world. Are again detached from what actually needs to be done.

Again 1st Priority of any nation is the protection of its people. With the open border policy of the last POTUS/Admin was an abject failure. Unless you support illegal aliens, who act as cover for hardened criminals. Those criminals brought in drugs supplied by the CCP, delivered to assist in destroying the US population.

The CCP plays the long game. They will take a little piece at a time. E.g. they now have both ends on the Panama Canal. And were about to take the main piece by paying off the Panamanian Gov't by various methods.

Anyone who does not understand how critical the Canal Zone is to the US, and much of world. Not just in peace time but in war. Is drinking the kool aid.

Note today is the Super Bowl in the USA. Big professional sporting events attracts sex traffickers, drug dealers, criminal in general, who all are there to take advantage of those going to the game.

Many of those trafficked are enslaved by those criminals who are supported by the cartels.

So I guess, protecting and supporting trans types are more important that those illegal aliens and others trafficked ?

The open border, the flawed Green initiative and pushing the LBGT+ agenda who are a small minority of the US population v. the real fixable problems. Again shows lack of what is really going on.

E.g. Saying males can play on women's sports is beyond ridiculous. Bedsides it lacks common sense. It turns out being a threat to females. The women of the US had to fight for their rights going full on back in the '60s and '70. Now because of some very skewed thinks a very small number of males who want to be females disrupts all what some many women worked for.

Males and females are different, each having their own physical traits. Who would have thought that would have even been challenged ?

Or saying more than there are more than two genders. DNA does not lie. No matter how many drugs or surgery one must go thru to become the other sex.

You can find online where the previous POTUS, VP, Admin, Dems, etc. fully supported this illogical line of reasoning.

They are not a priority, nor are woke progressive DEI, CRT, pronouns, etc. that the past admin supported.

While our enemies laughed and took advantage of the USA's weak, feckless, leadership. They forgot they work for "we the people" …

: Musk Claims FEMA Sent $59 USD Million to Hotels to House Illegal Immigrants in Defiance of Trump Order | National Review

Ahhh yeah!👍 our citizens should always come before illegal felons.

link

"The Department of Homeland Security is firing four staffers at the Federal Emergency Management Administration for spending $59 USD million last week to house illegal immigrants in violation of the law.

"Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants," a spokesperson for DHS told National Review Tuesday.

"Firings include FEMA's Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem's leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people."

The terminations come one day after NR learned that DHS was going to swiftly address the FEMA payments and fire the staffers involved for subverting leadership.

"As Secretary Noem said yesterday, we must get rid of FEMA the way it exists today. This is yet another egregious example. Individuals who circumvented leadership and unilaterally made this payment will be fired and held accountable," a DHS official told National Review Monday.

Billionaire Elon Musk, head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, said on X that his team discovered FEMA's spending and will demand that the agency clawback the funds.

"The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59 USDM LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President's executive order," Musk posted.

"That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.""
