Donald Trump keeps fixing things through DOGE and, boy, are Democrats pissed off about it.
The United States military is becoming the United States military again, thanks to Pete Hegseth.
And Legos are transphobic.
News
Here is some news:
- On Monday, Elon Musk said on X that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team discovered that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) paid out “$59 [million]” to “luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants” last week. This comes as DOGE has been looking through spending records of government agencies looking for waste.
- According to Musk, “The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M 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.”
- “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,” Musk added.
- The lawfare has begun:
- A judge has blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship Executive Order.
- A judge has blocked Trump’s buyout package for federal employees. So far, 65,000 bureaucrats have taken the package.
- A judge has ordered that payments that have been cut by the Trump administration on the advice of DOGE.
- The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that “four employees are being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City.”
- The firings come after Elon Musk wrote on X Monday that “The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.”
- New York has spent $7 billion on illegal aliens.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday directed the U.S. Army to change the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, but with a twist.
- Hegseth signed a memo aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 before landing in Stuttgart, Germany, ordering the renaming of the North Carolina base to Fort Roland L. Bragg, not the Confederate general that was the previous namesake.
- The base was originally named in 1918 for Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina, who was known for owning slaves and losing key Civil War battles that contributed to the Confederacy’s downfall.
- Biden renamed Ft. Bragg Fort Liberty.
- President Donald Trump is ordering the immediate reversal of Biden-era green energy regulations on household appliances and the reinstatement of environmental orders issued under his first term.
- During his term, former President Joe Biden issued more stringent climate standards for various household appliances, such as gas stoves, washing machines and dishwashers, which energy experts and manufacturers have warned could lead to more expensive alternatives that are far less effective than current models.
- President Donald Trump wants to send IRS agents to the Mexico border to remove illegal migrants. The tax agents would be deputized to help arrest, detain and transport people out of the country.

Dumbass of the Day
Sen. Andy Kim gets the award. I have never heard this guy speak before. The first time he says something, he sounds like a dumbass.
Here he is, addressing the cuts to USAID:
Some things that DOGE found:
- LGBTQ coloring books in Pakistan.
- Sesame Street in Iraq.
- Sex changes in Guatamala.
- Groundwater exploration and assessment in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.
- A cement project in Gaza (used for the terrorist tunnels).
- DEI scholarships in Burma.
Yeah, I think we could do with USAID.
Legos Are Sexist
According to Fox News:
Britain’s Science Museum has argued that the way children’s Lego bricks fit together reinforces gender and sexuality stereotypes.
The Science Museum in the United Kingdom has recently made headlines for its self-guided tour that tells “stories of queer communities, experiences, and identities.” This “Seeing Things Queerly” tour at the museum claims that Legos push a “heteronormative” agenda.
“Like other connectors and fasteners, Lego bricks are often described in a gendered way,” the online blog for the self-guided tour says. “The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating.”
So, in other words, Legos have to not work to not be sexist.
The tour guide blog adds further, “This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics unrelated to gender, sex and reproduction. It illustrates how heteronormativity (the idea that heterosexuality and the male/female gender binary are the norm and everything that falls outside is unusual) shapes the way we speak about science, technology, and the world in general.”
Gender is a binary. Legos are not even the greatest evidence of that.
The Telegraph, which resurfaced this tour, which appears to have begun in 2022, on Thursday, reported, “No source is provided for the alleged view that people consider Lego to be gendered, or that sticking bricks together is called ‘mating.’”
Fiona McAnena, the director of advocacy at Sex Matters, scorched the display as “bonkers.”
“The Science Museum’s self-guided trail on all things ‘queer’ is completely bonkers, and includes some absurd claims. The idea that Lego is ‘heteronormative’ because the blocks are described as ‘male’ and ‘female’ is ridiculous,” she told The Telegraph. “Children who play with Lego don’t need to be told that some people say fitting Lego blocks together is ‘mating.’ People expect to be informed, educated and inspired when visiting the Science Museum, not to have dubious claims rooted in gender ideology forced on them.”
Lego also sells an LGBTQIA+ playset called “Everyone is Awesome” with Lego minifigures standing in front of a rainbow including the various colors of the LGBTQIA+ flag.
It just shows these people have nothing else to call sexist. It’s like when people call sidewalks racist.
