NATIONAL NOTES.1 13 FEBRUARY 2025

Noem: ‘Get rid of FEMA the way it exists today.’ She’s right of course. They still need placeholder terminology to use as a fund retainer, but let the state where the natural disaster occurred determine how and when to deploy the funds. Federal workers who have no skin in the game are the worst people to determine who gets aid and how fast they get it. Have you already forgotten the exposé on how, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Biden’s FEMA people were told to avoid dispensing aid or rendering assistance to any properties that had Trump campaign signs in their yard? I rest my case.

NATIONAL NOTES 13 FEBRUARY 2025

US Treasury instructed by Trump to stop minting pennies, citing high production costs. The U.S. Mint reported losing $85.3 million in the 2024 fiscal year that ended in September on the nearly 3.2 billion pennies it produced. Nobody alive today remembers the 1/2 cent, which was discontinued in 1857 after a run of 64 years. Hangin’ on to it is more nostalgia than common sense, and nickels are next. The cost to produce a penny is 270% more than its value, and for nickles, the disparity is 180%. Bottom line? Hang on to those penny and nickel collections for your grandkids. They might have enough value to be worth somethin’ when they get to be your age.

DAILY DELIBERATIONS.1 13 FEBRUARY 2025

Energy experts blast failed billion-dollar DOE project as ‘financial boondoggle,’ ‘disaster.’ The Obama administration gave Ivanpah $1.6 billion in loan guarantees. Remember Solyndra? This is another one of his boondoggles, just like it was. Obama hasn’t been president for eight years, but his screw-ups are STILL spendin’ your money. If another Democrat didn’t ever occupy the White House for the rest of MY life, I’d die a happy man.

NATIONAL NOTES 12 FEBRUARY 2025

Musk team’s access to student loan systems raises alarm over borrowers’ personal information. Wait. It was okay for Biden to make blue-collared workers pay for the college educations of over 4 million, including doctors and lawyers, but it’s NOT okay to do a deep dive into who got the money? Of course the Democridiots are pissed about it. Who do you think got bailed out by the Idiot in Chief? Buy some popcorn, settle in, and let me explain how this works. Since the Vietnam War, ubiquitous draft-dodgin’ hippie propesters’ve both graduated, become faculty, and started runnin’ those same colleges. Those lawyers are Democrats by nature, and they become judges. Fast forward to today’s commonsense moves to save the average American’s tax dollars from fillin’ the Democrat’s hog trough, and those same judges are more than happy to throw up roadblocks to keep #45/47 from turnin’ this place into a commonsense country once again by cuttin’ off the cash flow to all the bleedin’ heart, trans lovin’ wokesters. What? Do you need examples? How did you miss NN.1 6 Feb 25 that listed what USAID was spendin’ YOUR tax dollars on? Things like $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces, $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland, $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia, and $32,000 for a transgender comic in Peru. And these are just a fraction of the misspent millions.
