It's a good start

QuoteThe State Department's foreign disinformation center, accused by conservatives of censoring U.S. citizens, shut its doors due to lack of funding this week.

Elon Musk had deemed the Global Engagement Center (GEC), established in 2016, the "worst offender in U.S. government censorship & media manipulation," and its funding was stripped as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Pentagon's yearly policy bill.

"The Global Engagement Center will terminate by operation of law [by the end of the day] on December 23, 2024," a State Department spokesperson said in a statement. "The Department of State has consulted with Congress regarding next steps."

Lawmakers had originally included funding for the GEC in its continuing resolution (CR), or bill to fund the government beyond a Friday deadline. But conservatives balked at that iteration of the funding bill, and it was rewritten without money for the GEC and other funding riders.

The agency had a budget of around $61 million and 120 people on staff.

Speaking of winning,
PedoJoe selling the border wall materials sold it to a company for pennies, and that company is selling it back to us for what they paid for it.

The only reason to auction those materials off is for spite. I wonder if PedoJoe even knows it's up for auction? Doubt it, he's too busy taking a vacation 4 days out of every 10 while his handlers are running ruining the country.

I don't EVER want to hear a Democrat talk about how much golf a POTUS plays or time they spend in Mar-a-lago, Florida  or Crawford, Texas for that matter without an apology for the abomination PedoJoe's work ethic has been. Seriously.

Whose been running the country?

QuoteNEW: During a one-on-one meeting, Speaker Johnson asked President Biden why he paused LNG exports to Europe, says Biden was completely unaware he had done so.

The United States hasn't had a president for four years.

Johnson says Biden was completely unaware of an executive order he signed. The comments from Johnson came during an interview with
@bariweiss
.

Johnson said after fighting for 9 weeks with Biden's staff, he was finally able to get a meeting with the president.

When he arrived, Johnson says he was "ambushed" by Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

Biden, who apparently didn't know what was going on, asked the others to leave so he could meet privately with Johnson.

"It occurred to me he was not lying to me. He genuinely did not know what he had signed. I walked outta that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, 'We are in serious trouble.'"
